And then everybody talked about,
how fishes feel 'safe and happy',
in the tiny rectangular of aquarium.
Though I protested, "No, they
feel tied up and suffocated."
They said with humanely pride,
"they could have died in the ocean,
or must have been caught up in net
to meet their brutal fate."
I said nothing
only glared in the eyes of
wiggling black and white fish -
their skins glowing under conditioning.
They made me feel,
fishes in the aquarium are girls of our type.
