I am

 subject to a car dealership, 

below their sun’s crumbles 

Softer now, unlike before 

red nylon sheets my breezy flesh, 

golden fingers on the ends 

that I use to find my balance on this earth 

my soul lives 

in a rusty air blower 

underneath

 

I have a mind

 

creeping in plastic fibers 

I dance in the breeze 

feetless, 

yet 

I smile 

perpetually 

for those weird-shaped beings buying cars, 

bestowing before me

 ... 

A car stops by. 

A man throws out a mass of flesh: 

it’s a woman. 

The gure fades in the wild

 

all dark at night, all dark 

My corners tremble 

deflated on the pavement 

I slither into her fibers, now 

                                                               to dress up in newness
