What am I hungry for?
tamales, pizza, pepsi,
the number seven,
ice and the silk in my curtains,
love, names of constellations...

Why do I feel so wierd right now?
indigestion, pre-cancerous changes,
breast tenderness, the ache in my knee
that signals rain or frost, wondering
if i'm a good mother, the degrees celsius,
how many miles i am in proximity to the sun,
the nearing of indian summer, a change in tides,
my toe rings are pinching me,
gravity, the earth's axis...

What if I had never...
known that the sky was blue, rode
a motorcycle in the rain,
emptied the garbage, drank
from coconuts in Mexico,
been born...

Why do birds fly?
to get from point "a" to...
to feel the air, because they're bored,
in search of the perfect worm,
because they have a leg cramp
or lockjaw in their beak and
they need to pop their ears.

What should I do with my life?
I should wear pink leggings,
eat two pieces of cake, smile
at anyone reading a red book,
and bathe regularly, twice
on days divisible by three.

Any questions?
