contrary fishies please don't cry
as you swim from earth to sky
wondering why oh why
As i try to live in the grey in the middle of every fray, it's not easy because i so strongly see it
clearly could be both ways. And i care a bit too much, and cannot not give a f$#! And i see
that it is sad and happy and all or nothing but should flow lightly.
And then I took this me, and went away across the sea, to this land called Japan
and i suddenly could see through a whole other lens, and Canada made zero sense.
So here I was, clearly not Japanese and yet no longer all I'd been raised to be.
And the fish swam round again.
As I learned the word for ten was Ju
and i understood you
Back in my homeland quiet as a mouse, seeing absolute certainty as undesirable
compared to doubt. Seeing individualism as a strange un natural life and being happy
being swallowed up in one world - with one voice.
Here I stand now
alone
all the places where I've grown and the people I've vanished into
all the dreams that have carried me away
this ghost life is lifting
and I know I am me, and it's easy to be, if you don't try at all, you are you
whether you fly or fall.
So simple. The fish aren't in competition, they are not ships in the night
It is not black and white, but a trajectory
both free are free to be and so they swim free
up and down and all swirly
And it's water
and fish
there is nothing a miss
but love can come and sink a ship
the fish are dizzy
though they are strong, there is a whirlpool to which they
are drawn and where does it go
or is it eternal
or do they let go and swim as one and follow on
to a new circle
there is always the push and pull
one stays if one goes
and the fish that disappears into unknown years
where does she go
Pisces me oh my
contrary fishies please don't cry
as you swim from earth to sky
wondering why oh why
