a_fish_who_died and buried in the garden somewhere.
my mum had a bird who died when she was tiny
her mum told her that it would go to heaven if they buried it in a shoebox in the garden
my mum dug the box up weeks later to check her bird had gone to heaven
it looked like it had gone to hell
since when do birds sin?
since when do birds sing?
a g, a gee, a gee and thee
a thee, a thou and we'll have all three
i had a cat named snowball, she died, she died.
my goldfish used to die
i'd chuck them down the bog
and flush
they say goldfish have no memory...
i wonder if their ghosts hold grudges
i wonder if humans natural habitat is now a city, living in a tiny concrete battry hen cage
i wonder if now a fish's natural graveyard is portalled by a white porcelin bowl
i wonder if now all cats are as attuned to the electic can opener
as mine was
i had a cat
she was given away
to someone i had never met.
this means i dont know if my cat is dead
which means she cant die
shrodingers_cat be dammed, mine is immortal and still going strong.
shrodingers_mum used to be worried that her son kept shutting the neighbour hood pets in boxes
at least he wasnt buring them
yet
bury a goldfish in the back yard
and one day soon
there'll be a tiny perfect ribcage
filled with dirt
get a cat
stick it on a pole
and go huntin' for fishbones
building rambling stories
out of fishbones
fishbone art, and thou
