I am not like the floor. 

(although you can step on me)

I am not stupid, not capital L loser. 

(although I do lose everything)

I am not your pathway, but please look at me.

(please touch me tenderly, please don’t)

the soles of your shoes?

are crap. they        are             complete.   crap.

A moment is a sprawling thing. It is never on the dot I

Am not  on the dot.  not human, not capital

 L loser I am filled with it. Filled with all these things I am not. 

A water glass;my mouth. 

I am not broken. I am not.  I am not broken!

(I am)

Neither am I worthless,

(but I come without a price)

*

 Please help me darling, 

Can I have a darling? Can I       

    Come back?

Can I be a baby?

    (can I not?)

Can I drop this awful arrogance, 

and become something small again.

and full of fur. bright

nameless.
