The Golden Pisceans

                                          They dwell in the deepness of the sea    2013

i oughta be ripped
i oughta be torn
never should get
so tired and worn

i oughta be hammered
i oughta conform
people regard me
with ignorant scorn

Words

sudden anger
over naught
is emotion
overspent . . . 

angry words
sudden swallowed
is time my friend
 wellspent . . .

Frapfish in Pisces

Why is it like this?

tried to hear it
but didn't get it
tried to see it
but didn't find it
tried to touch it
but didn't feel it
tried to learn it 
but didn't know it
tried to taste it 
but didn't smell it
tried to grasp it 
but didn't hold it
tried to want it
but didn't like it
tried to leave it
but didn't lose it
tried to take it
but didn't need it
