Not in school

 my family pond
The fish swam away 
the sun through mud
the pond becoming empty

Hungry dog
Lets call it the ambition creature
Tripped the fish out of it's natural surroundings
chasing the poor thing over ground

Over a career
over relationships
over homes
then conveniently back into some lake

The fish never ran out of oxygen
The dog seemed more tired

Your fishy soul to stretch a metaphor crudely
