Fat man
Fat man
Tom?

Stale Post Office Glue
Shuffle cane Shuffle
Gasp behind me

Me?

Hand crammed in
Post box. . .I look
recognize

Corner of my mouth
Bleeds. . .do you
Feel it?

Are you me, will you be
me. . .Have you already been. . .
me

If you have been
I changed
If you are
I will change

Shuffle out as in
cane waddle,
Stale smell remains

Tinged with the aroma of
vision, insight
power

Thank you
Fat man
Fat man
