I watch a tree from inside my window
I watch the rain from under my umbrella
I watch the news on television
I watch my friends on Instagram
I keep the bitter taste of watching
I let the feeling spread around
I hold my eyes tight in my fist
They pop
I touch the rain and it burns
I let go of the bitter taste
And feel my way into the world
