When I go to Dream Country to catch dreams, I come back only with bad ones<br>and I wouldn’t want to keep these in jars on my shelves, even if I could.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">If my fish could drive, <br>they’d fly down the highway<br>not knowing where it would take them.<br>They’d snap photos (if fish could snap photos) <br>of sun rises and sunsets, of road signs, and of bugs that got smashed on the windshield.<br>They’d laugh and compare the car to their bowl on the window sill, <br>joking about getting wheels put on it for better parking-lot viewing.<br>And they’d wish that I was with them on the road.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">If my fish could dream, <br>they’d have nightmares about the over-crowded tanks at Meijer where I bought them.<br>They’d wake up gasping, and frantically find each other in the dark water.<br>My fish would also dream about moving on to a larger bowl, somewhere on the eat coast.<br>Images of sea-life and waves would disappear<br>When I switched on my desk lamp and said, <br>“Good morning, my darlings.”<br> They’d feel guilty about wanting to leave.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">If my fish could speak, <br>they’d tell you that I call them my babies. <br>They are the silent watchers of my bedroom corner. <br>It doesn’t matter that I “read like an open book.” <br>It may be obvious to the world what I’m feeling, but that doesn’t matter to my fish. <br>They are low-maintenance friends that never assume, expect, or guess <br>what it is I want to say. <br>They can only listen.</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Sara+Waalkes">Sara Waalkes</a><div class=q> <img src="https://www.citatepedia.ro/g/32share.png" style="float:left" alt="Share"> <script type="text/javascript" src="//s7.addthis.com/js/300/addthis_widget.js#pubid=citatepedia" async="async"></script><div style="display:inline-block" class="addthis_sharing_toolbox" data-url="http://en.citatepedia.ro/comments.php?id=558576" data-title="If My Fish Could Speak de Sara Waalkes" data-description="If my two goldfish could speak they would surely have long conversations about the weight of pebbles in water or the buoyancy of plastic plants.
