On Shapes and Bendings

What does it feel like?

What does it look like?

When you pour yourself

Through the keyhole?

Come on, Alice, fit!

But, no one can tell you

Anything but their own experience.

Maybe it will sound the same,

Or similar to, your own,

But hey! It’s only real

When it’s your feathers getting plucked.

Empathy’s nice, but it’s no substitute 

For what’s real.
