On the benefits of becoming a fish
Yesterday my car broke down.
It was working fine, I guess it just
gave up.
The door whined as I threw it open.
Maybe it knew the End was near.
I looked around for some
sense of direction.
The breeze hit me. Cold; changing
like the end of a season, freezing.
I headed westward with purpose
but not reason.
I had come upon a cross-
walk and the light was blinking red.
I had time to think, and then I saw
advertisements for wants I
cannot recall.
As brakes squealed to a slow
stop I could hear the mumbles
of a drunk homeless man stuttering
"eye of the tiger" and so I said
"Aenima is coming,
learn to swim."
