mile in my

i mean really
try to put yourself in my shoes.
no no not your feet— your whole damn body.
drain your blood and crush your bones if you must
just jam yourself inside so i can knot the laces together,
toss you in the air and string you from a power line.
 

hear the electricity buzzing up there?
what about the birds perched right above you?
doesn’t the warm sweat building up between your body
and the inside of my shoes just make you want to explode?
rain down in globs of flesh onto the cars below?
 

now thump onto their windshields
and feel the automatic wipers
scrape you off to the side
