The World Is An Aquarium
The world is a sea of gigantic aquarium Of immeasurable acreage; With eclectic species of humans: Coal, Amber, Snow and Bronze; 365 score days in the whale's gut, Junketing from Kolkata, Kalamazoo, Kathmandu, East, West, North and South, Hustling, jostling, bustling, brainstorming; Angling for a mess of portage At the close of season; Like Jonah, We will gracefully, and discretely age and be...

Aquarium
Dim tunnels curve a segmented ocean. Bat-winged feeding specters browse glass. Scaly hulls blow gas tanks. Rainbow skimmers flick and soar. A child’s sweet nose pressed against a face so horrible, bubbles of fear pop in my brain. Above us, jellyfish swim, dendritic minds dangling. tentacles of electric awareness. Sharks circle waiting to be fed. shark lovers, perhaps fantasying’ swimming in and out of their bloody teeth. It’s a movie -...

Aquarium
Dim tunnels curve a segmented ocean. Bat-winged feeding specters browse glass. Scaly hulls blow, rainbow skimmers flick and shimmer. A child’s sweet nose pressed against a face so horrible, bubbles of fear pop in my brain. Above us, jellyfish swim, dendritic minds dangling. tentacles of electric awareness. Sharks circle waiting to be fed. shark lovers, perhaps fantasying swimming in and out of bloody teeth. It’s a movie - we gawp and...

The cichlids patrol their 48”x18”x18” tank and though this country has been officially metric since April Fool’s day, 1975, I still measure fish and tanks in inches, feet, ounces, pounds and gallons. A mix of African cichlids, from lakes Victoria and Tanganyika, but tanks are the only world they’ve known. Cichlids are of interest to me because of...

The Aquarium
On July 15, 2010, my wife, Teri, and I took our younger daughter, Isabel, to the doctor for a regular checkup. She was nine months old and appeared to be in perfect health. Her first teeth had come in, and she was now regularly eating with us at the dinner table, babbling and shoving rice...

Aquarium
Freedom is confined in a lone house with sunken cobbles. The home is filled with synthetic ornaments and electric bubbles. I'd live in the secret waters and explore life thenceforth Rather than reeling in circles; I’m going back and forth. The tail is the love of his eyes; he made my orange-fin as decoration But never he heard the old...

Human Aquarium
A silo water casket scintillates glow Green sea-weed blanket, bright red and yellow. Pebbles and gravel, in a crystalline show. Fizzing of bubbles the aquatic-air combo. A vista of motion, flashes a rainbow. A bunch of humans thrown, in the confined gizmo. Dull green eyes, swim an ocean pseudo. The drift of life, it's all real although. The wriggle...

The Aquarium
Is so spectacular. They're man made places To show us how aquatic Things live underwater. The huge water filled enclosures Are decorated spaces For each inhabitant Which makes them unique And hospitable. Children are educated, While being fascinated, And insatiable While enjoying the calming effect of the Aquarium....

Dubai Aquarium
Seven hundred and fifty millimeters between worlds- Confined on one side, the enormity of the ocean, a contradiction to the sand on which it sits; artificiality’s extravagance encompassed in a delicate bubble. Just as its maker, Under azure of neon and amongst the life in its technicolor, diverse, rare, immigrated; Its foundation’s fluid is submerged and alloyed into into the ground that...

Prayer Aquarium
A fish drifts in a fresh water aquarium The soul of the fish dwell forever in this live suit Living on nothing but oxygen, just like we all do How’s it to live in an Aquarium, forever in a tunnel of living water And who is that man who snatches the fish from this aquarium This...

Sitting by them in the Aquarium before I saw blue fish, I saw the Chinese couple not getting on. Arms were raised and hands and awkwardness to show. It must have been their first date - at least that's what...

Life In An Aquarium
My life in an aquarium, so great, But fearsome, with unknown fate. Swimming against the fresh water, Flapping my gills for a breather, The air pump producing bubbles, Sending my body in jiggles, The ...
