The Fish in a tank

Fish in a House
You named me once,
then forgot;
I don't blame you,
what is the point to name a fish?
You dutifully feed me,
I should thank you, I guess,
no matter how cold the water is.
Now and then I worry
if I will outlive you:
this house is another water tank,
you don't have any gills.
When night comes, you dream
and I dream too.
There I teach you how to swim,
how to live in emptiness.
But my eyes cannot shut,
watching the house
drown in silence.
