Two fish pretending to be humans



At breakfast I'm sure other thoughts
could surface, besides horror
or speculations on intrinsic behaviours--

the various and mostly useless
explanations to life's events.
My frothy coffee: a dirty ocean
in a tub with play boats and a duck.

I'm a sailor, too.

On the horizons behind hills
where sun is a memory
and yellow is the colour of depths
we met

and spoke like philosophers:
about fear, the meanings of everything,
the contradictions in human nature.

One night we swam apart,
sore-finned and hungry, leaving
our cases behind.
