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...
