Electric Fantasy

Fantasy fish swim by 
in my electric fish tank 
Feeling the power of their 
unearthly dreams 
I drift off into sweet fantasy
Let us watch as vapors rise up 
from the street
We cannot be arrested for dreaming!
The years have treated like Kings and Queens 
We are being rewarded for our 
excellent efforts 
Some fish glow in the dark 
They manage to exist 
despite all the factors 
limiting their life - spans
