Richard Brautigan Quote

Your Catfish FriendIf I were to live my lifein catfish formsin scaffolds of skin and whiskersat the bottom of a pondand you were to come by one eveningwhen the moon was shiningdown into my dark homeand stand there at the edge of my affectionand think, It's beautifulhere by this pond. I wish somebody loved me,I'd love you and be your catfishfriend and drive such lonelythoughts from your mindand suddenly you would be at peace,and ask yourself, I wonderif there are any catfishin this pond? It seems likea perfect place for them.
