the scissor is on your nape. think away the thought, please . . . water. there's a drop stroking over the rim that is your forehead. down, down. a tear. slips down. a tear of blood. down more. it edges toward your jaw, neck, throat, into a vein. crawling, descending. throughout your self and your legs, crisscrossing. spiderveins. open into roots, white fading to spruce. your feet are gone and you are a tree. millions more of you but look up to your leaves, flickering green to the sunlight like a school of fish. silver in the surrounding black. a cold, encompassing, holding, embracing ocean. you are the water once more. only this time you meet the sky, through a gate called horizon. endless. infinite. edging, but it only follows you and you it. are you one with the world? if not, be the world. you are a world.

they make you sleepy, except for when the part at the back of your neck is getting cut down to less than an inch. i thought of this while i was getting one and tried my best to write what i remembered after i got home
