i have a special room at my house
it's very small and quiet
it has a white bowl in the middle
full of little brown fish
they have no eyes or ears
no fins or flippers either
i imagine they stare at me
...they have no eyes!
no lips no tongues
no telling brown fish lies
with no current
or offshore breezes
they just float
and occasionally
they bob up and down
two thirds under the surface
like effluent icebergs
bobbing away in brown fish town
they have a disgusting cloying smell
a vapour like stench that lingers
touch them at your own peril
in case you pierce them with your fingers
they are extremely fragile
which makes them soft to touch
they just want to be hugged
and they want it oh so much
