Day 2: my veins are now vines.
There’s been another security breech in which my capillaries have
shed like snakes and are now webbed rhizomes. It had, all along,
been a conspiracy of spores. My wrists suddenly shone green while
I wrote, photosynthesizing at 3pm. A hand jerked to my head to
check if there were leaves and there weren’t; I breathed and let
my vascular neurons pollinate, microscopic blossoms bursting with
every fired synapse behind my eyes. The vines filling up my casing
stopped. But, at that point, I found I wanted them to burst from
under my fingernails and take up the pen for me; they never did.
Nor did the bees stick-and-poke words on the wall or my skin
yesterday to help me decipher any code.
