My stomach is not filled with butterflies
Or crawling worms of any kind
I am not nervous
Or scared
Or jittery tonight
My stomach is a fish tank
Without the fish
Without the weeds
My stomach is a snow globe
with no snow
And a treadmill with no feet
A chocolate without a mouth to eat it
Or a cat without an old lady to feed it
My stomach is like a fish tank
And…
I like this fish tank feeling
