lying           
           in   my   room,          
  arms flopped over the edge of the bed. 
      something  poking  my left hand, 
                 something      slimy, 
      slithering around  the  fingers, 
          up   the   arm.           
 is  it  drug-fueled   apathy?         
          i   don't   move  the   arm. 
                                 
 whatever it is that's tasting me,     
 it   moves   further   up,            
 reaches    the    armpit.             
 i  turn  my  head  toward   it.       
             looks   like    seagrass. 
        it's  kinda  cute.          
                                 
    once  it's  up  my  neck and on my 
 face,    i    bite    it.             
       the texture  is like  that of a 
 juicy                          grape, 
    and the  squish tastes  like sweet 
                      cucumber.    
     it's very good.    and i    
 suck   more   of    it   in.          
             chew    it.            
    the seagrass doesn't seem to mind. 
                                 
     apathy  gone,  i  sit   up.      
      the tendrils  are stuck under   
    my  shirt,    entering by the arm 
 and  exiting  through  the collar.     
    this makes it  hard for me to  push 
 more   of   it   in   my   mouth.      
   i make to remove  the shirt, but the 
 seagrass finally protests when i try  to 
 move     my     left     arm.          
     so  -  eating  it  is   ok,      
        moving  it  is not.
