i am like a god to the fish in my 5 aquariums
when I bestow food upon them from above twice daily
they swim so devotedly toward me
when i deign to approach their bubbling fish tanks
like supplicants seeing a vision of their god
like devotees ecstatic at the sight of their almighty
but i’m just kidding around here
they only get excited when they see me
because i am only like a lesser god
when from above i bring them food
otherwise i’m just another human schmuck to them
that they would pay little or no attention to
