my mind grows stiff
instead of elastic
one day when you pull on it
it will snap
into many tiny pieces that will go
to conquer territory
in everyone else's minds.
from then on
you will hear my words
in your own mind
in my voice
until (in the future)
your own mind
snaps.
the first thing i will
be telling you then
(and everyone else)
is to take me
charred and flaked
to the ocean
so you can make me
into a pod of dolphins
sleek and shining
playing together
in the waves
just like i always
wanted to be.
