I don’t actually
think I’m sure I have got
this deal straight
It could have been
necessary with a
policy
Has this relationship become
some kind of codependency?
I have actually
never asked for their
contribution
neither of their
overwhelming
functionality
I think it’s not supposed to be
some kind of codependency
I can’t actually
imagine comfort
without them
It’s horrifying that I
at the same time
feel insecure in their
company
I have to admit it could be
some kind of codependency
I’ve been through taming
quite a heap but the
only ones I’m
allowed to keep
is my own
They seem actually
to be everywhere
connected
to most of the actions that
influence and
structure my needs and dreams;
Conspiracy?
It wasn’t me, I can’t call of
this brutal codependency
What makes you think that I would be
able to be so certain about the
consequences of physical actions
performed by such a sensitive machinery?
I always used to think Words are the deconstructors
of my attempts to create a
fixed point in my imagination and
transform solitude to sanctuary, but
obviously I have underestimated the
wonderful and frightening possibilities – powers –
of fingers
Unlike them, these fellows limit
your own capacity to comprise
the textures of your flesh.
And such a vocabulary;
grab
point
throw
pick
clasp
push
tie
fist
pull
hold
drop
hoist
dig
rub
break
bend
squeeze
toil
caress
touch
play
write
drag
carry
touch
button up
penetrate
touch
You’ve got the point, grab your marvellous opportunities
‘cause here they are!
