fish ponder-ings

for a really long time

i used to be 

a very small fish

in really big ponds.

and now i've become

a really small fish

in very small ponds.

and i thought maybe

a puddle to be in

might help me feel big.

but on second-thinking i realized

all fish-scrummy waters ever really do

is make me feel very small.

and it has to be okay

to be just a fish

sinking or swimming or floating along

in whatever waters wherever they are.

because isn't life

just one big fishbowl

regardless and after all?
