Woman Before Aquarium – Henri Matisse

Oh, lovely goldfish…your lives are so simple; just water, glass, flaky bits of food, and odd women with dutch-boy haircuts staring at you plaintively.

I’ve recently been wondering what it would be like to be a fish, and not just to smell like one between the legs.  No deadlines, no grocery shopping, no touching during sex.

Do you enjoy the pine cones I’ve left outside your tank?  They must really make the time fly by.  Trees don’t touch for sex either, you know, but they do have to worry about being made into tables and such, so it’s not all wine and roses for them, you know, not that they’d really appreciate wine and roses.  Wow, a glass or two of wine would be pretty nice right now, actually.

Stop looking at me like that, guys.  An occasional glass or two of Chardonnay does not make me an alcoholic. I don’t need a couple of scaly little imbeciles judging me.  You’re just like François, you know that?  Judgmental little cretins, you are.  Next thing I know, you’ll be telling me I’m a frigid dyke, that my cooking sucks, that I’m terrible at blowies, that I have breasts that look like poorly-cooked crèpes.

You know what goes with a nice glass of Chardonnay?  Fish!  That’s right!  Fried fish!  We’re going to see how François likes his beloved little pets for dinner.  Screw you, guys.  You brought this upon yourselves!

    That’s exactly why I killed the five goldfish my kid won at the fair last month. Those damn orange things kept judging me with their beady little fish eyes. Just because I was on my 4th glass of Chardonnay. Who are they to judge? Kids woke up the next morning and all five were dead. They will understand when they get older how it feels to be judged by fish.

      Fish are little bitches, so high and mighty. It must be all that schooling.

        Do I have to clean up all your messes?

        • http://FlockOfWeasels.com/ Pete Puma

          I didn’t think so, but now that you mention it, there’s an unidentifiable puddle beneath my chair as I type this.

          • curiousalways

            I’ve identified it and no, not cleaning that up. That’s where I draw the line.

    I’m torn between having you remind me to never having you critique my work, and begging you to critique my work.
