I am water
exhibiting signs of nervousness
water accepting a paycheck
water is what I give to you
because I just flow that way
water undressing the room
sneaking through the tableature
rearranging the notes, the string
on my shirt, the propellers
that don't cut, the currents
that don't document
what they take down
water changing positions and narratives
water taking umbrellas apart
water switching places with me
until I am my own double
who grinned at time
til time grinned back
hard.
