I’ve never been the kind of fool
who could abandon
a bad idea—
flush goldfish just because
I’m tired of trying to remember
to keep them alive.
But plenty of goldfish
have died.
Forgetting is another matter altogether
in any weather whether you lose
or forget to keep
you’ve still got still gills
and a long sleep.
