aquarium music from coast calling by ratwyfe

this is aquarium music.
whale shark recycles the same water
it has known for all its life
or worse just the stolen end of it
in, filter, out
what else to do?
gasps of water
swallow lifeblood
at what point does a being
so grand feel
like a 2000s aquarium nightlight painting a bathroom
blue enrichment for a god-like species
in, filter, out
at what point does a big fish realize
the size of its tiny pond?
in, filter, out

imagine the headlines!
whale shark
(overcomes fear of own reflection
realizes that the panes were never heavy enough to hold it hostage)
breaks glass

then what
in, filter out
listen
