Whoever heard of being allergic to fish? Rilke was in his little bowl, swimming happily, and then I go and develop a fish allergy. Nothing could stop it -- I think I went through 2 tubes of hydrocortisone before realizing I needed to see a doctor b/c the rash wouldn't go away and it would be aggravated each time I came near Rilke's bowl. I think, too, that Rilke was sort of lonely after Wallace died. A whole bowl of water with only him and his reflection, and a few wisps of fake grass...
