The Experiment

is me
looking at an elephant
bathing itself while I shower
& seeing all the ways the elephant is me
or you, or us, or them. You, get it. Blank
piece of paper | becoming people | becoming
air | becoming me | + you = ~:3
your ribs are all inside out tangled in mine
(again) u = I (wishing)
Here I am thinking & thinking & thinking
therefore I am
looking at everyone’s butt
as they slide by reel after really
there are a lot of different ways to feel
about this! How do I pick?
How am I? Individually? Congealed in
this cat fight outside screech of night.
Okay, I identify as a dog.
+
All the other animals in the world
are in me bc
I’m the best one, yet.
Just thinking that way
makes me hungry.
