Every circle I swim in my fish bowl, is like seeing the world for the first time. I can only remember three seconds at a time. Don't ask me how I know.
You knock on the glass and smile at me. I wave my body and a bubble shakes loose. I watch it rise, and then there you are—tapping on the glass.
I dance with joy. Shaking my fins and nodding my head until I forget why I am doing it.
I make bubbles and circles and never tire of it. Everything is continuously new to me.
Your eyes are huge as you stare at me, as if you don't know who I am. Then you shake food onto the surface of the water. By the time I reach it, I have forgotten how it got there. But that does not make me sad. Then there is a lady smiling, watching me eat, and I am happy with what makes her happy.
Suddenly I am sad. It feels unusual and I don't know why. The lady taps the glass and somehow I know she wants me to dance. But this only makes me cry. Why does she not see me crying?
A lady walks by my tank and does not even glance at me. Why does she treat me, a total stranger, with such disregard? I want to jump from my bowl and die. But then I see a bubble, and my world is new and alive.
