Want me.Tie me down. Read me. Tell me. Start. Tell me a story.
Put me to bed. Feed me. Take me by the hand to see your dead mother.
Sing to me. Make me laugh. Start me again. Make me a son. Make me breakfast.
Put me against the sun. Toast me. Debate each one of my arguments, my eyes.
Intuit what I am made of. Crush me. Make me into a solid. Touch the inside
of my house. Do not answer the phone. Give me something to drink. And your body.
Your mouth is ample, both of us fit there. Desert me. Hang me. Cry to me. Tell
me yes. Never yes. Want me. Open me. Correct me if I am wrong. Fold my clothes.
Order me. Come see me. Touch me. Drink me. Make me out of water. Make me
a specimen. Take me anywhere on Sundays. board me. Make me into a ship and
put me out to sea. Throw me. Put me to sleep. Show me. Make me stop looking down.
Find me if you can not find me. Conjugate me. Ask for me. Let me look at you.Start now.
