a walking aquarium
sometimes, i feel like my head is a fishtank. when i was a teen, i was kicked in the right eye by a goalkeeper while playing football. this caused scar tissue to grow behind my eye. to this day, if i close my left eye it is if i am looking out of a relatively dirty fishtank.
the sea where living creatures were at one time immersed is now enclosed within their bodies.

i am too small to contain the plenituds of the sea. but maybe i am big enough to enclose the depths of a fishtank, or at best a rather small aquarium. but if we are speaking of liquids, i would rather be a meandering stream just going with the flow 🏞️.
