"
pill bug"
i
was once
an
exotic
rolly polly, and i would
slide
down
the
neck
of
this
giraffe because it was
my
slide and i would
create
sand size
dunes my because
the rest were too big, and these were
mine.
in the
middle of this
desert i
made my own
oasis with
water
(for a day or so)
and i would
climb up,
curl
into
a
little
ball in mid-air, after jumping
and do real
cannonballs.
to a rhino, my oasis might as well have been a
mirage
because it was useless to him
because it was
my size
not
his.
