heavy fish

surfacing for air

I look at the sun askance

its glow

dwarfed and filtered through space, time, and water

I could not know it would take seven seconds to see

new light from its recesses

My world is here

I am like a human

I think

and worry about my fate

my future

It will be decided on how I chose to live

Dictated by genes

Randomness

And my interaction with my environment

People try to catch me

when i am hungry

I got caught once

But flipped very hard

And was let go

to this day I don't know

was it cos i flipped hard that you let me go

Or were you not like the others

I see your shadows moving

What you do with us i can't tell

but i have lost many brothers

and sisters to your fake food

But I can resist it,

I can see the different movements

But someday you might fool me again.
