Train of Thought

At work I came across a box of CBD balm made by a brand that has Koi in its name. That made me think of when my husband and I went to Saugatuck and stayed at a place right across the street from a business which had the name Koi in it. I remembered, I wondered why there were so many cars there, like why was there a serious need to buy really large goldfish. Or maybe this was the largest “really large goldfish” store in the state. Then I thought how odd it was in Saugatuck and I wondered why really large goldfish were so popular. But then my husband told me it was a (marijuana) dispensary. And then it made sense. Kinda. The cars, yes, but why Koi? Because then I thought about how those really large goldfish freak me out. They’re just SO big. My brain says they shouldn’t be that big. Because then I remembered when I was little and I won a little fish from an amusement park. It was so cute. When I got home, I happily put my little fish in the fish tank with another goldfish. The next morning, I found my new little fish floating at the top of the tank, half of it was eaten. I remember making eye contact with that mean old goldfish still swimming around. We locked eyes and had a stare down. It won. I hate you, I thought. So then I thought about how I hated the smell of fish food and how it looks like a container of scabs. I grossed myself out. I should get a drink. So I put down the box of CBD balm and went to the breakroom to drink some water. The End.
