                               	   	      	            Modernity

		      	   	    	           carpet grows on your heart
		      	   	    	           and your skin is wallpapered beyond
		      	   	    	               all caress
		      	   	    	           fingers linoleumed and
		      	   	    	           lips urethaned

 				    	           I curl myself into a ball
 				   	                circle     cirque     cicatrice
 				  	           pins and needles in my palms
 				    	           desire twitches through me
 				    	              I circle     transmogrify
 				    	           become shapeless
 				    	           prostrate myself cowering
 				    	           before you
