After Jennifer S. Cheng
1: the sea captured in a glass 2: a homophone for having enough
for leftovers, a synonym
for abundance 3: the fish, who have already forgotten you. It’s not
personal 4: where memory fails, there’s still
imagining 5: you. Not as an ocean but
outside 6: glass and/or acrylic 7: in the hospital, meant to calm
in its motion 8: in the waiting
room 9: somewhere between water and a place for relating
to 10: the fish, waiting if they can wait
without remembering, watching
if they can 11: see through 12: water 13: between you and
me 14: reaching to touch the smooth
edges 15: of each other 16: here,
even if we cannot remember
