blankslate:

i stare past the window at a tree
and become a woman
-
five hours have passed
since i last checked the time
-
a plane turns in mid-flight
and everyone stays in place
-
water forms bubbles
as air is forced into it
-
my skin is electric
with the sound of metal
-
i chew my food slowly
and blow hair into the ceiling
-
i become a woman and die
in the time it takes to swallow
