Here inside this new body

Forgotten what had become of the last one

Composed of aluminium and modified organisms

Ideal for replication

Regrowth and rebirth

 

Such a slippery person

 

Plugged in now it all ascends

Those spirals again

This new place where the sand is so cold

Yet appears so hot,

Scorched inside my skin is reptilian cool.

Too touch Arousing all my neurons

They stutter for the next round

 

Pistons on my pelvis

 

That ever-chanting circle

My skeletal family stare hollow

Out now, here inside this new body

structures have changed

world order maybe

 

I’m hungry for pizza

 

Infinite capacity for new sensibilities

Unbound from language

New codes of response

Reprogrammed just as you left my body

Suddenly pulling out

then vacuum filled with power

 

Now you are jealous

Black, white and green in-between

like a checkerboard floor

Put away your gun

Or put it in my mouth

I’m looking up at you.

You know what to do.

 

No pineapple please. It doesn’t make anything taste better.

 

The swimming pool is empty

The water laps into the filter

Corners and crevices

Its rhythm is hypotonic

This cancerous sun here

Penetrating my slippery cells

The sunbed is melting

Spreading across the tiles

 

Pass the aloe vera

 

Cooling my premature scales.

Iridescent in the moon light

Invisible in the mirror

If you close your eyes it is like I’m not here

Just don’t look

That way it never happened

 

I’ll split the stems and extract the juice

 

Now that this new body is a percentage aluminum

Officially any way

Just see it as recycling

Of emotions and sensory exchanges-

reclaim the valuable materials

they were always yours anyway

 

This is all natural, everything you are feeling
