things come, things go
some moments pass
some movements stay
all I can say
it will come my way

from the inside of a lost boat
how long does it take for a whale to disappear?
this is what I found;
there is something about a giant orca
and a dinner table
we used to have slippers
and there used to be walls

what if my body was completely new to me?
and I’m just trying out this vessel
I roleplay the idea
of what a human can be
