i got worries i got troubles

I began thinking about styrofoam, earthquakes, floods, whales swallowing people, foxes or wolves I couldn’t tell which, but they were slowly moving, in that order. I thought about diving into her mouth while she slept and living inside of her, silently controlling her every movement. I thought about going far away. About pulling off my penis just to see what it would feel like. I thought about vomiting for three hours and then the feeling passed. Everything passed. The wind passed through the trees and the fences and the windows and everything we could name.
