i, jus now, walked to the store to get some water
and - it's weird but - the sun
hit
me: and, somehow, i felt
detach e d no more;
one lit plane, arrayed
beneath my sandals
and walked my feet
along the woven pavement, which had
either come alive at that moment or
had always been so and i just never noticed it before.
but then, i felt
some weird s i d e inside of me grind
its bony armor, elide the light, and
glyph into existence, dark. it spoke; it wrote
me down. it captured me with an adroit hand. it
fed me lines. lines. lines. lines brighter than star proximal.
my insides stood divided.
i got home
and drank
the water: straight from
the jug.
