Inspired by a silly poem written in a state of sleep deprivation and caffeine overload, Fish Bowl is a somewhat sarcastic character study of a confined goldfish.  The piece explores two different worlds: the outside world that he witnesses, and the more mundane existence within the bowl.

​

The piece is divided into two corresponding main movements.  The first movement, light-hearted and jovial in character, represents that which is only visible.  The second movement is more reflective and sad, symbolizing the solitary existence inside the bowl.

Fish Bowl

​

He feels confined

By glass

That separates

Our lives from his,

But alas

If he crossed it

He would

Die.
