The Fishbowl

Perpendicular on all four sides

I’m enclosed

Encapsulated by

Gray concrete


A purple extended hand

A gold and shimmery interior

That holds the

Worlds

Treachery and treasure


Plots of greenery

The only refinery

The only sign

Of life outside


While in the tinted glass

The betas and alphas

Species of all

Kinds

Swimming in circles

Around those in

Front of them


When I think I found

A solace

A solitudinous space

A crack

In the mirror


The swarms exit

In their

Unknowing and

Delirious Fashion


Reminding me

Once again

I’m not home
