Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

Goldfish Drama On Cell Block A

Goldfish drama
pitching sassy fit
moved to solitary confinement
as punishment

Inmates in water block laughed
Riling up new arrivals
Fish who will meet a similar fate
By morning 

Goldfish drama
Aquarium guard sighs
Feeling sorry for newbies
Glad they cannot drop soap

Bullying goldfish
Running the A block
Chasing away softies
Or making them into slaves

Goldfish misunderstanding
Kept in impossibly tight bowl
Solitary confinement
Not realizing the benefits
