The Fishes In My Head

We humans seem concerned that we must die Yet complain we cannot sleep with shuttered eyes Stay awake and let the mind roam free Invent new recipes, enjoy some tea Feel the peace of darkness and the bed Tell off fishes swimming in your head Get up and clean the kitchen of its grease Check your records if you have a lease Knit a mohair hat for winter time Wash a scarf and hang it on the line Change the printer ink before it dries Volunteer to work for M I 5 Unwillingly admit we can’t control The night and day, the journey and its goal
