Blanket
Blanket
Give me a blanket.
No, like for real...
Give me a blanket!
I'm not reading poetry,
I'm feeling cold.
Are you feeling it too?
Let's take this huge blanket,
and cover ourselves up
Why the blanket?
It feels so relaxed
under a warm blanket.
Once we are relaxed,
we can talk...
This is a safe space.
Hey, just one rule:
Don't fart under this blanket!
Alright, you wanted to hear a joke,
that was it.
You can leave now
if you were here just for the joke.
Oh! I'm feeling cold again.
Look at my skin,
It's a blanket covering
these warm flesh inside
and the skin giving up
the heat of the flesh
to the cold air outside...
While losing the heat,
there are some wires
from the skin
sending signals to my brain
and my brain says,
"It's cold outside. Grab a blanket!"
Cold...
We even invented this sound
for the weird sensation we felt.
Cold...
It's cold.
Everything's cold.
You are cold!
I'm cold!
And the body lying in front of me
is cold...
Have you ever touched
a lifeless cold body?
This body gave birth to mine,
and now I'm covering her face
with the blanket...
Why her brain is not telling her
it's cold outside?
Why she's sleeping
like a tired warrior
from a long fought battle?
People are floating
around her body like clouds
and she's amidst
lying like a meditating mountain...
I touched her skin.
The storm inside her body
feels so silent now.
It was a spring afternoon yesterday
But now it is a night of the winter...
Very Cold...
Oh! the fragrance,
the night-blooming jasmine is here...
It will carry the seasons
of this lifeless cold cucumber
lying in front of me
to the horizon
where the sun is about to rise...
And you're still here
listening to my nonsense?
Go home!
And take this blanket...
