<p><em>I’d Started Keeping a Pond in My Backyard</em></p>
<p><em>With Several Fish</em></p>
<p><em>(the Waters, Also Needed to be Domesticated)</em></p>
<p><em>The Fish Knew the Name of the Owner Being Ye Du</em></p>
<p><em>Relating to Water</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>The Fish Knew that the Owner Knew Them Individually</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>In Their Beliefs</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>I May Also Be, a Fish Too</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>I’d Given Names to My Fish</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>The White One is Chuangzi</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>The Black, Huei-Shih</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>And, Another is Called Ancient Scripts</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>The Other One, Plain Text</em></p>
<p style="text-align:right;"><em>(with Both the Ancient Scripts and the Plain Text living quite comfortably)</em></p>
<p style="text-align:right;"><em>There’s the Name of Trials</em></p>
<p style="text-align:right;"><em>Another Named Bliss</em></p>
<p style="text-align:right;"><em>Bliss is, Very Happy</em></p>
<p style="text-align:right;"><em>Trials, Very Happy as Well</em></p>
<p style="text-align:right;"><em>I’d Called Out the Name of a Fish</em></p>
<p style="text-align:right;"><em>And, It’d, Swim Towards Me</em></p>
<p style="text-align:right;"><em>Because All the Names Were All, Tainted with the Beliefs of Humans, the Good, the Evil, the Thoughts</em></p>
<p><em>I’d Canceled All Their Names</em></p>
<p><em>The Pond is So Tiny</em></p>
<p><em>Only a Few Meters in Width and Length</em></p>
<p><em>But, it’s Big Enough</em></p>
<p>their living environment, so confined, and yet, it&#8217;s, big enough&#8230;video from youtube</p>
<p><span class="embed-youtube" style="text-align:center; display: block;"><iframe class="youtube-player" width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/4sAKiZgkxjU?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent" allowfullscreen="true" style="border:0;" sandbox="allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation"></iframe></span></p>
<p><em>Not that Much Water</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>And it Was, Their Universe</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>There’s a Lot of Suffering Being a Fish, so Little Joy</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>But, So Long as, There’s, Enough of Everything Needed, They’d All be</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>Fine</em></p>
<p>So, this just showed, how we’re working so hard for, is absolutely NOTHING of importance, and, this narrator who’d kept this pond in his yard learned this from the fish he raised…sometimes, simplifying things in your life makes your lives a whole lot easier.</p>
