but their bodies are hard
and the supple softness of spill
is not reflected in the countenance of one
who sits staring at me with varying opacity
"your translucence is unbecoming," i spit
and density shifts its weight to the left side
leg crossed so coyly
heads tilt to see who passes there
all eyes on
blink the light blot it out and pupils contract
blood races through rat mazes
gets lost somewhere in my stomach where i think some cells have been confused
because the semi permeable lining seems to have its directionality backwards
click and the tracks reverse but not in time to save the pints of liquid courage, i mean blood, i mean bile
digested by the greedy juices of my stomach
"glug glug yum yum"
and then sex appeal ceases to mean validation and burp up blood taste
hands open palms and blue discoballs offer up apologies
eyes closed again
no one passes and gurgling subsides
swallow slowly count sheep cut wood and measure your weight in apples which are used to ward off doctors demons devils priests and other shamans
