Television is Just More Fun
Your fish greeted me before you did
possibly forming circles about my ankles and
adoring the shag with sweating fins
I might even say I enjoyed the pleasant cackle
of water that surfaced, frothy, from the plush carpet as
my heels violated it in my dreamy venture
towards the kitchen
Little eyes gravitated, enthusiastic,
maybe expectant too (I thought I'd mention both adjectives, you'd like that)
I'd attract similar attention from you if you'd
strategically planted holes in your thick, dark, gills
Instead your convulsing body lashes out on the carpet,
obeying the final commands of your drifting consciousness
until I can see the seeds climb out of your mouth
in a finished form
Healthy emerald blades, frazzled with blood, nod to the
superiority of the ceiling fan.
