last night you gave me a crab with a beating heart

you knew that it would be good and it was!

i put it in my mouth and swam with it

at 5 you had to get glasses and then

you could see through things like all things were water

last night i watched you from the middle of the river

you sat on the shore and ate a swan and it was beautiful!

at 10 you shaved your head and tried to be a monk

oh god you were amazing! i thought you would never quit!

and once life stopped at the back of my mouth!

at 15 you started walking backward through the snow

tonight i traced your paw prints into the woods

that's how i found you in the mouth of a wolf

beating hearts are not beating hearts for long, i say!

i tore the wolf's throat out with my teeth!

i am small but sometimes i am invincible!

i said, stop looking for the perfect meal

you won't find it there in the stomachs of wolves

you just need to admit that you want sugar in your tea

and words too! like all of them! like all the words

you could possibly put into your mouth

just stuff them in there until they all fall out!

have you ever seen a chipmunk head stuffed with nuts?

that's it! fuck! best thing ever! yes! how stupid is it!

there should be a poem about it! a record! a song! fuck!
