< like a fish in an aquarium >

< like a fish in an aquarium >

the meaning of a word
is not inside it

neither
is the meaning of this poem

you're reading it
right now
from the outside

i'd like to think
i wrote it
from in here

but i was
where you are right now

so this poem is
(though i wish it weren't)
like a fish in an aquarium
