the fighting fishes

The fighting fishes
In the wide bottle
The show of colours
The glittering lights

The drama in the bottle
The fighting fishes fight
The spectators watch
Some betting on it

The sound of the gamblers
They urge the fighting fishes to fight
Entangle in their mouths
See which fish will last the distance

The eager eyes of the gamblers
Watching the fighting fishes fight
A while later one of the fishes will take flight
The losing fish will scramble away

The winners and losers
As the fighting fishes end
The crowd disappears
Wait for tomorrow to watch again
