Fish!
Fountain Pen  2014.05.08

Before I know it, some inmates have used waste materials to make a fish bowl and keep some fish that can survive tough environs, for instance, low oxygen. This addition revitalizes the work yard a bit. Inmates stop by the fish bowl from time to time during breaks. They seem lost in time when they look at the fish. What do they see? Their carefree swimming? Their pitiful world confined by the bowl? Or, maybe they see how the fish are to be survived by the bowl?

Or, maybe it’s not the fish they behold but themselves’ destinies?

不知幾時起,多了些收容人用廢料做的魚缸,克難的養了些耐低氧的魚,給工場裡帶來了些許生氣,不時有收容人利用工作空檔跑到魚缸前,看魚看到都出了神似的,不知他們看見的是魚的悠游呢?還是它們只剩缸裡簡陋的小世界?亦或是看見它們的生命都結束了,而魚缸仍在?

或許他們看見的不是魚,而是自己的命運吧⋯⋯
