folding my body

my arms and legs

and labelling

the case

darkness is all

I see

and I can hear

everyone laughing

while they

stick stickers

and the supervisors

go around

shouting orders

and directing

the show

I don’t know

where they are

sending us

I don’t even know

if we are dead

or alive

I am totally confused

and clueless

it’s like

some kind of

weird factory

though I am

not scared

I only want

my mind to close

but it won’t

outside they joke

and there are

footsteps

and the sound

of crates

piling up

being thrown

one above the other

I wonder when exactly

the universe began

and when it will end

I remember

plants popping up

and turning

into people

and some faces

fixed under hair

living and dying

seem to be a pair

making love

in their

incomprehensible

lair.
