Fish

By Brian Michael Barbeito
Mar. 6, 2010

Fish. Fish and the blue and a funny strange aquamarine type of color hardly ever known. The great balcony of heights, where one sat cross legged and looked out on the forest with no falls, only the rolling and rolling runoff water that came with the rains, or the thawing of the winter’s ice and snow, there, there by the graffiti, and it pulled out some big rocks from the fences, from the makeshift river bed. Square blue and yellow stickers, and the sailing cards, the pictures of the fishermen showing the catches on the backs of boasts and the quiet rains, humid,- lovely, olden and new- new then and old now. Chasms of light, crashes on the long and long modern roads. A metropolis of light and the cornerstone grating, the shaky wakey flaky funereal of the evening coming- and the summer goes on like that. Fish. Something about fish always. Fish could be red, blue, green or yellow. The industrial man sat and watched the tank and it was the only time he ever relaxed- the algae eater must have lived to be years and years and years. A nightmare shook the other from a sleep and yet the body still tried to heal itself. Far off gray evil women with strange beady eyes set too close together- and other- sometimes beautiful women, just as evil- showcasing their evil up front- unbelievable the gusto- the malevolent smirking smiles. Going and going and going- pools and water- good soft blue cement- back there in time- and the lights showed shadows in the underwater equilibrium. Go. And fish. Bedrock and silicone chips. Porcupines and firecrackers. Not the god of the religionists but the real god, - the great spirit of the sky. Long nights till morning. The women with the drink. Strange oriental pole dancer smiling the greatest smile so new honest and spontaneous. But maybe not. Maybe not even. And the afternoon of promise. Fish. Fish got it swell. Swimming. The cool hot place where the water –trees grow, where funny eels know and where the neon tetras go.
