Oliver Kleyer

The fish

Spent the afternoon trying to put

The scales back onto the fish.

smeared glue all over my hands

and from there,

it went everywhere.

Next, I knocked over the bowl

with the scales, so I had

them all over as well.

Now I am the fish.

Thank God it’s not Friday

I am going to take a bath now.

Fishes need water.
