Written July 1, 2001

go ahead, unwrap me from this,
this clear plastic cage that binds me with the others...
tear at it with your teeth
‘till it comes undone, and I explode,
accompanied by the rest,
shooting out onto short-lived freedom's floors...
filthy, dirty, grimy floors of liberty.

seeing my unmarred form,
you will pick me up and out from amidst my fellows...
then twist me, torture me, tear me apart,
licking indulgently at my innards...
suck them out and taste the flavor of my soul,
swallowing with closed eyes,
eyes that hide their secret, gluttonous pleasure...

then throw me,
what remains of my broken, separate pieces...
toss me carelessly into the white wake of foaming silence,
that peaceful, evanescent river...
shove me beneath its surface,
don't let me breathe that air again...
allow me to soak all this effervescence into myself...

retrieve me in my bloated state,
my grudging emergence forced by your hand...
to my fate I belong,
to become what your whim conceives,
a victim of your thirsts and hungers...
undo me, torment me, drown me,
bite me...
