You tell me you’re full
Like a kid with too much cake
A runner with sloshing water in his belly
You tell me you’re full
So full to the brim that it comes out your eyes
It pours out your mouth
It seeps out your skin
You tell me you’re full
So full it consumes you
Stretches till you’re see through
Pushes until you rip at the seams
You tell me your full
So full of feeling
Like a tap stuck on flow
Like a cloud always crying down on those below
You flood
And the streets run with it
People drown in it
Love flees from it
You tell me you’re full
I cannot relate
You sit, all wrinkled like a prune
So full and soaked and saturated
I ask for a drop
I’m parched
My earth is dry and caked
Cracked
Under the hot desert sun
Begging for rain
