The Annexation

Sometimes I am a bug
I travel to distant places, over indifferent
bodies and they come alive to the caresses
of my indifferent self.

     There upon a sheet of paper,
     my feelings flayed alive;
     the colour ran from my body
     onto the hung skeletons of signs*
     while that which seizes paper
     had done its final seizing.

On other days, I am a man
calloused from all the touching.
I read the morning papers, I drink the dreary tea
And then I feast off the papers some more.

*words.
