friends of achilles

i never used to like pears, but now i do
i wonder what other great things are in store for me?

i practice spinning on my kitchen floor
while tomatoes explode inside the microwave

i wonder if he knows that now he knows my weak spot

it seems too early for tulips
we all come in on our own time

erase it all, retrace my steps
say goodnight to the shadow of the unicorn

i want to tell him...
for what it's worth,
i'm still here
