Look into my eyes.
     You do not dare!
Your emptiness is manifest;
     it howls
inside your skull
     blown hollow as the air
All ocean mouths
      are licking at your bowels.
You think you are a person.
     You are wrong.
You're just the same as
     everything, but not
for seconds do you
     know where you belong.
The color of your lungs springs
     sparking hot.
