how many frozen peas
fit inside
your fist
put them on me
in places i want
to feel
fit them inside me
adjust
them and yourself carefully
you are only so
right and i am only
allowed to push
out so many
children without your eyes. i keep
spewing as i am undrawn and
there is a shell and think
about an orange
has so many
pieces and it manages
to be
a whole and enough
