POETRY ROCKS eZine

An anvil

fell into my fish tank

Plop!

A cacophony of confusion

Nemo and Wanda are frantic.

They meet in a huddle,

ponder the situation,

and plan a coup.

Despite their best efforts,

the anvil remains solid.

They decide to just swim around it.

Myriad colours, flashing bright

A rainbow of hues that give no delight

To some, yet to others is astonishing

I ask myself what do I think, what do I care

And I tell myself, I wish this person didn’t share

But what could I do to understand such abstract thought

I am incapable of understanding

I am incapable of emotion

Why can’t you understand that notion?
