The Man Who Acted As A God Poem by Alexandre Nodopaka

He owned 9 fish tanks that he serviced faithfully every morning once and the same in very late afternoon. He cared for the fish with attention to detail. A pinch for the vegetarians a pinch for the carnivores. He managed the number of fish just in the right quantity according to their numbers and their sizes, present and projected, and their suggested mix. And so he went on months and months. Each morning he sat in front of each for a few minutes and devoted gazing minutes to this other worldhe elevated to his viewing height pleasure. He developed his preferences based on many variables. Some for their originality of fins, others based on their colors and others still on the basis of their ugliness or was it deformities.
