the cars passing
on the street
can’t see my tears…
Choices
head above water,
until it slides
beneath choppy waves…
spend so much time
keeping a distance,
using space as a barrier,
making yourself a castle …
Don’t call me an angel,
I made some choices
I’m not proud of…
In this simulation
you choose one trait
and one state of being…
If, for a day,
you had to carry,
all the water you use…
To avoid war,
first prepare your beads
— bluish is preferable,
store bought is fine…
If you could see through,
All the foods that we can eat…
Imagine with me for a moment:
you are the hero of the story –
who do you choose for your sidekick?
Charismatic dolphin…
If there were five doors,
Lined along a single wall…
