Being Changed
I am sap
breathtake
sound of
another day
a little door
swinging
with breezes
looking for
a superpower
in this implacable
taxed body
like all our
devices
sending signals
emojilike
to impossible
objects thinking
we shall
be changed
in the twinkling
of a text
immortality
like the seconds
of haunting
before sleep
