A llama

Image by James Valvis

there's a couple of things that won't happen here
1. we won't see eye to eye
2. I won't accept my pseudo status

my plans involve solely ruminating on a ghost identity - 
whether that's a fourth stomach, a hump, a corporate job or never dying of thirst

like some black eyed fish in an embodiment of water, fur and linen -
the essence of discomfort 
note the casual foot in pocket
my only foible: humming 
hmm hmm hm hmm, hmm hmm hm hmm
to clear my disassociated mind
call me crazy - please
I'm waiting for an excuse 
to spit in your eye 
wrestle you to the ground 
and gambol off

maybe these eyes are marbles
slipped into any socket they fit
perhaps no one feels happy in their skin

call me crazy - 
it feels the only way out
