I'm not allowed in aquariums, i keep trying to get the fish to unionise

by pet yeti

on the politics of cooking pasta (2023)

[Verse]
I don't know
I just feel like I shouldn't be trying to fix the world
I feel like I should just be focusing on making my little part of it beautiful
And if that changes the world in the process, then that's a good thing
[Verse]
I listen carefully
Or rather I try and exist and allow the sound to move through me
I always thought my thoughts were me trying to tackle the truth of the earth
And I've started noticing patterns
But those patterns are more about my needs and my insecurities
Part of my being that needed attention and care
Passion from the thinker
Too abstract to drink water to quench thirst
I'm trying to learn to feel now
Not just allowing feelings to happen, but to become present in the glow of it
To become the glow of it
To see I am already the glow of it
[Verse]
When I was twenty one
And growing in my identity
I'm recalling every night
A reoccurring dream
I don't remember what it was but I remember violence
A friend called me in the morning after
I don't recall what was said but I remember laughter


[Verse]
Dance with me
Over the flames of what we've been
A world created out of plants and beans
An ecosystem where the laughter sings
Dance with me
Over the flames of what we've been
A world created out of plants and beans
Any ecosystem where the laughter sings
