My koi lives in a fishbowl

My Bekko Ao goes through the same motions every single day.
He has looked upon the same view in every single way.
The owner is never home.
My blue koi is so, so alone.
Every morning he strains to listen for proof that anyone, anything other than him exists.
But every morning my koi knows that all he can do is subsist.
All the anguish I know causes him to fray.
I wish I could just take my koi someplace far

Far away
