I thought it was me
The girl on the bed alone
I thought my sticky, dirty hands
were my insides re-generating
Within soup
That, sighed with acceptance,
as unworthy, declared me home
I think I dreamed, one day, of more
substance
Chunks of bread, in a world that felt
so flat
But, outwardly, I pushed myself to
see the sun
The croutons, the highlights
Systems, in cisterns, of assumption
Could never give you credit for that
I wondered why my me was
the one that wasn’t out there
But, just lived inside
Flushed with a mixture of textures, liquids
and space invaders
Who did what it takes to survive
