FROM SAINT X
What explains latitudinal patterns in species diversity?
We all need
different things
I need
a clean warm
towel
and a bowl
of mussels
you might need
to make a blind
of palm fronds
you might
not even know
why you need that
it is the body
that pushes us forward
it is the rabies virus
trying to spread
that makes its host
terrified of water
can you imagine
too scared to swallow
your own saliva
can you imagine
the deadly trap
you would become
I imagine
and whisper
at night
to anything harbored
inside of me
please don’t
take my brain
please don’t
