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.
