the aquarium

the fish
don't last long.
so get an eye full as they
swim
in the bubbled tank.
the fake
grass blowing
in some underwater
wind.
a windmill nearby,
teetering on white
rock. there goes freddy,
swimming by,
sally,
and joe.
blue green,
one black with what
appears to be a scarf,
another
dressed
in bright yellow,
with stripes.
they rise to the hand
of god
that sprinkles
manna from the sky.
but in a week, or
two,
some, the moses of bunch
might last a year,
but he too has a short
aquarium  life,
before he dies
