Of Goldfishes and Dreams
Posted: Jan 1, 2008 by Hanedin in
It begins with a purple muffler. Tendrils of a familiar scent creep upwards into your nostril. An attempt to gift wrap happiness in a song, a color or a thought. Can it be done?
Can goldfish have dreams? A lack of light sources in a dark room. A careful choice of words. A lack, hence the darkness. But what if the non-abundance was planned and the darkness intended.
Can goldfish have dreams?
Dreams that dissolve in the aquamarine truth of a captive life. Dreams that do not break into jagged shards. Dreams that do not echo with the tune of an Aerosmith song.
What is it that separates the Goldfish from a dream.
Splish, Splash.
End it.
Hey, I saw your blog while hopping around. My congratulations, it's really clean!
And (just randomly thinking) fish don't have eyelids. It's weird to think of them dreaming what with no REM-sleep and all :-).
