A female voice Hello Pause Hello Longer pause Hi Hey hi Hey hey hi Hi hey hi Hey hi hey hey hi Hello there Hey Hey hey hi hey Hey hi Hey hey hi Hey hi Hey hey hi Hello hi Hello hey hi Pause He counts his steps. He weighs the food on his plate. He calculates the shortest route. He estimates the days he must spend in despair. He overestimates his mother’s love. He under-estimates the perfect cloudy days. He delimits an imaginary mustache on his face every time he looks into the mirror. He determines all there is to being drunk. He evaluates his employee’s productivity using a software called KILLMESOFTLY. He scales every morning after he takes a dump. He expands his franchise. He measures the length of his fingernails before he cuts them. He assesses the risks of drowning in bankruptcy. He generalizes “I like’m dumb blonde”. He speculates in stocks. He organizes his closet, starting from the left is Blue Monday. He identifies with the homeless man resting on the corner of King St. and Nelson Mandela. He controls his feelings. Some’d say he’s a madman. Some’d say he’s a mathman. I’d say he’s a thirsty man For the dark liquid below. I’d say he’s obsessed with stories Made up by numbers. Preoccupied with automatization of storytelling, He dreams, dreaming of his leg. He calls me Moby. He calls me Dick. He reckons his sight of my skin, white. He marks me white. He marks me Snow Chalk Milk Light. I fully reflect and scatter all the visible wavelengths. On his phone screen I eat up all the red, blue, and green light. Yet he’s blind to my cry.
