Introduce Yourself.
Did you think you had a fever
or did contemplations vex you;
are you furniture recognized
by the sound alone; can you be
the vacancy; what is the
back of a hand but barbaric
or yours; if you would shelter storms,
would you be willing to soften;
what would you be found without; how
to distinguish spring from making
eye contact with doors; after the
years of devotion, can you still.
