My pet fish, Simon.

2007-2009


You came into my life as a solitary fish.
You looked at me with those big deep eyes of yours.
The kids wanted to call you Leonardo.
I never liked Ninja turtles.

Your beautiful red and blue fins and tail spoke to me.
I called you Simon.
It seemed fitting, as you were a fighting fish, after all.

I fed you and kept you from freezing to death.
You lived for such...
