Glass Box
I own a box of fish
Community tank but
not without social cliques
Angels rule the water
one classic one calico
dine on fresh escargot
Gouramis poke glass ceiling
One golden sunset male
after all those female pearls
Dozens of danios dart
zebras giants leopards
manic arrows in all directions
Busy bottom-feeders
whiskered Kirby vacs
clean everyone else’s mess
New school of red tetras
learns food rains at six
in the northwestern corner
Twin bristle-nose plecostomus
wait all day for dark
to lustily suck glass
