The · Word · Pirate

i sat and sat and would grow fat
so ran in place and lifted things
that needed no lifting
and sweat the purest cleanest wet--
no doubt drops from an unstressed mind--
clear from fear--justglistenskin!
I got a rush pretending to be thin
playing at animal in a gym

outside I tried to weep when people died
but hand wrung more over the latest in

freedom and comfort in I swim
floatingpushedalong and don'tresist
any creeping consequences I might have missed
any falls below, any well lit abyss.
