to the lullabies
and so we ran away to that goldfish bowl. it was nice and the water was just the right temperature. we floated around and laughed a lot. the bubbles made us happy. we thought we'd decorate a bit and we filled our goldfish bowl with gravel and little toy castles. but these things only made us want more. we bought treasure chests and all sorts of crap. i could barely see you sometimes there was so much stuff. we started swimming around less. we started hiding behind things more. we wouldn't see each other for days, and i hardly ever laughed. my temper got shorter so that when we did see each other, we didn't have a good time. i'd swim away and regret it. but you see, i'm starting to think that there's a way. a way to clear out all this crap and laugh at the bubbles again.

if i could only find where you are hiding.
