- one too many
- ------------------------------------------------------------
-
- cool white tiles
- on my cheek. my cheek
- pressed on cool white tiles.
- light streaming under the door.
- the gap like a lens. i swear
- the light bends
- from here on
- the floor.
- it seems cooler
- too. in the dark.
- the lightswitch is just
- out of reach of my ability
- to make it look normal in here.
- the world looks so different
- from this lowly perspective.
- and it feels so much nicer
- to feel cool white tiles
- on my cheek. and to
- watch the feet.
- playing games at guessing
- which toes belong to voices
- disembodied. my body long
- gone and numb. all i
- feel now is cool
- white tiles on
- my cheek.
