I'm a fish.
Pushing stinging
salt water
through gill slits.
I'm a monkey.
Flitting under
the canopy.
Care-free.
Territorial.
I'm a human.
Weighed down
By emotion.
Complex.
Idiotic.
I'm nothing.
I'm everything.
I'm an animal.

This is a junker.
I like the idea here and i think you should try to do more with it. The parallelism of the 2nd and 3rd stanzas works well and I think you should incorporate it into the first stanza as well. I think with the last stanza you could try swapping the last two lines which would hint at the inherent narcissism of human beings. Just a thought.
