I listened
I smelled

Sometimes, I touched
I imagined.

My skin was thinner,
just a veil rather than an armor.

I was water, a drop of water
wrapped up in 0.02 millimeter veil

I was transparent, ready to dye myself
pink purple blue dark gray and white

The sun fell into the left side
and from the right a full moon rose

You showed me the structure of this universe
using me as an axis.

Into my cup of hands
you threw a baby lobster of

1.02 centimeter
with red antenna,

as big as the bitten nail
of my little finger.

You threw at me showing
the inevitability of your triumph

I should just jump
off from the cliff

get to the bottom and
kiss on the black rock shouting "I SURRENDER!"

But I am still bound to my chatter
Not yet
dammit
still young
and not sure and
have a future
do this do that do this do that
yada yada yada

Why is my neck so hard like steel?
I think of you

at an intersection
under a donut shop's pink neon sign
