The Goldfish
Sometimes she gazes at the world
outside her glass cage and reminisces on
how insignificant she is
in a world that can only neglect and belittle
She desires a language that
the world can comprehend
but she only speaks in bubbles
engaging in unfathomable conversation
The world jeers and ransacks her cage
yet the cage doesn’t break
even though she hopes that it does;
at least then she will be free
She remains in a bubble that she deems oppressive
but she forgets that it was there
to shield her from the immoral
transgressions of the world
