i thought i was strong
i was strong
in that small world
and as the old dory came toward me
i tried with every muscle i had
i found muscles in my toe nails
straight-armed and breath-held
i tried to stop her
and she hit the dock with a gory CRASH
the girl opposite me was tiny
she was tiny
a tiny girl in a tiny world
and as her dory slid slow toward her
i fretted with every muscle i had
i found fret in chest hairs i didn't even have
face-frozen and breth-held
i watched her
and her dory kissed the dock
as she guided it slightly sideways with a gentle one-handed glorious nonchalance
