Very lovely poem. Sometimes wish we could know more, though, about the spark of it, the grain of sand it grew around. I would love to read a piece of nonfiction about how the goldfish ate the pea and lived six more years. How did your father know to do that? Was it a wild experiment? It sounds as if you had a nice childhood.
