Da da fish in da da lake

Paolo Pergola


Swish swish, da fish swim in da lake
The water is blue like the sky on a Monday
But also on a Wednesday
While it will rain on Tuesday
Although it will rain fish
As it happens sometime in da dasert

But da fish no care about the sky
Da fish care about zee worms and zee zooplankton
Da fish swim fast like the speed of thought
Though the thoughts are fishy thoughts:
We know the sound of two fish is swish!
But what is the sound of one fish?

Lake is a mirror
Fish is a reflection
A reflection of what?
I am not a fish
said da fish
am I a swimming dream?

Fish is a question
Lake is an answer
Fish is an equation
If F(ish)=0, then return lake
Then take the first one right
and you will get there

There, where?
Da fish swim in circles
Circles of life
Life is a circle
of what?
I swish I sknew

And yet, da fish is free
Free to swim, free to swish
Da fish jump again
The water is disturbed
Disturbed like the mind
The mind of the water

Out of your mind?
Out of the water?
Da fish disappear
Disappear like magic
Magic of da lake
Swish! go da fish

Da fish in da lake
Is like a fish in a soup
A fish soup that forgot
Forgot its own recipe:
Add a pinch of salt
and da lake is an ocean

Da fish swims in spirals,
then in parentheses (like this)
and then {like that}
Swishing into da ocean
Forget da lake
This story has no moral. Only da fins.
