Naturally Blue
Though the goldfish complained about the artificial blue of their aquarium walls,
staff members paid any heed to them.
That particular shade of blue had been recommended
by their horrendously expensive interior designer.
So they were going to stick with it,
till the time for renovation would come around after ten years, if all went all.
If enough tourists came.
But no matter how many generations of gold fish were placed in this luxurious, spacious aquarium,
where they were fed the best of natural seaweeds and algae,
they all had the same complaints till their very last breath.
Couldn’t this thick paint of artificial blue be replaced by a more natural one?
Fluid Plot Lines
As many story strands circled around in her head,
just like these lazy goldfish,
she wondered if or when their plots or characters would
interact with each other to form a huge mosaic of storylines.
Or would they continue to evade each other,
just like these clever fish.
Seemingly these beautiful dumb swimmers had no plans, yet
they never collided with each other,
crossed another’s path, or
blocked their fellow fish’s quest for food, and incessant movement.
Or took up arms against each other,
unlike the highly intelligent two-legged beings
who called themselves humane human beings.
