Bought a goldfish

and a bowl.

Carried carefully

the orange body home

in the plastic bag

ballooning with water.

Filled the bowl

from the faucet.

Opened the bag.

Poured the fish in.

Bent down.

Looked in.

Tapped the glass.
Craving contact. 
Such a strange way
to go about it.
Who is at the glass:

me or mystery?

Who is in the bowl:
 me or mystery?
