Goldfish Memory

[Fallen Angel 2]

[Amanita]

You know goldfish have only
a three second memory.

That means if it takes 3 seconds
to swim around the bowl...

everything is new.

Each time two goldfish meet
it's like it's the first time.

It's just like humans really.

Each time we fall in love it's as
if we're doing it for the first time.

Some kind of chemical reaction
kicks in and wipes out...

all the memories of how painful
the last heartbreak was...

and we think, "Wow! This is great,
this is new, this is different!"

Like women,
forgetting the pain of childbirth.

Lovely, so we never change,
or learn, or grow.

We simply go round and round
repeating the same mistakes...

until we die?
What's the point?

- Love.
- What is love?

I brought you a present.

Tom...

-Rilke's poems?
- Yes.

Yes. With facing translations.

- Here, look at page 23.

"Again and Again".
