your stomach is american.
one signal for hunger,
another for playing dead.
in the madness you learn to respect
the small edges
regardless
of your body’s body, the late cycle
you race to slow.
you do your time
with a smile, square
in the room with a room.
favor the cast-off parts
of an animal’s eye.
goodbye to adults
nobody can control.
goodbye for-sale-signs.
even blood dulls into kind of peace
before empty space
which feels terrible or else normal-sized.
