Aquadub

Nothing at all
not even the ad
here on my screen
conveys the slightest inkling of humanity
I had seen you
in a flowered and checked dress,
blue like the water
of the aquarium that
they brought me when I was little,
and I don't remember anything,
only the blonde cashier
and the flying fish
and then my mother saying:
'Don't touch anything, anything, anything at all.
