I shrink down to microscopic dimensions
to make myself better fit into your world.
A stolen glance, a fleeting thought —
even though we mean so little to each other,
I can't stop wanting to be more involved.

I'm living in the flea's midgut,
and it's giving me a stomachache.
Next time, I'll build a better prison for myself.
