All In One
They see you as a gate, blanket, horoscope,
book, an empty town….
anything that the light of their imagination
throws at them. You laugh at them for
forgetting you are just a being minding his business,
with two lungs and two feet; a star
that is doing its best not to flicker out.
You carefully place your thoughts on the Universe’
palms like a weighing scale, and hope that they won’t find it.
