Deep inside my creative crevice of my mind.
she is so excited
she is exuberant.
the big eyed
full of life
shiny goldfish is hers.
at home she has the tank all set up
the water is already waiting for its inhabitant
with little water plants
and a piate ship
and now the pet has been bought.
a lackadaisical employee scooped her new friend
and tossed him into the bag
as water flew everywhere
now the girl swiftly glides out of walmart
her father at her side
she insists on holding the bag
with a new friend in her hands,
nothing can stop her now.
yet as she gleams with happiness on her stroll to the car
her grip weakens
the slippery water does what it does best
and the bag falls.
her new friend tumbles to the pavement
as thin plastic bags explode
her heart is being crushed.
his life and potential ends so suddenly
and this girl is crushed.
i am the goldfish
