whoa

I remember possibly a Saturday around the end of February, Maybe overcast but bright.Wet streets ,sand left over from snow, winter is not over but it has grown weary.I am about twelve years old.I'm wearing boots green rubber water proof as hell but not exactly Rockport walking shoes.I went into a fish store where they sold pet fish. I remember they had beautiful yellow tropical fish in a salt water aquarium.I think they cost like seventy five dollars back then that would be about 1.6 million dollars now.But I remember how much I wanted them and how cool and beautiful they were.I would visit them several times before spring came and helped me to forget them.Such a feeling of desire and euphoria they gave me even now so many years later though I don't want them any longer and the feeling and the innocent ability to have such feelings is long gone its somewhat of a vivid memory I have lost the feelings but have retained the appreciation of them...just another fish story...
