Alas! To all the fish I had in childhood,
Flounder and Mr. Fishy and Sharky and many others
whose names I cannot remember.
You taught me of death,
although not correctly,
I believed death was
flushed down a toilet and
swimming to the sea.
I write of you because of my poor dear Bianca,
the sole bowl companion of Lorenzo
(who still lives, but lonely now),
who passed away so recently
at the hands of my little brother.
To all the goldfish I ever had:
I hope the sea is beautiful
send a postcard back to me.
