\nThere\u2019s a strange pull on my body
\nin my ears
\nIt has nothing to do with gravity
\nwhich has become enormous
\n
\nMy own body has become enormously large
\nand simultaneously, microscopic
\nIt\u2019s a weird symptom I brought with me
\nfrom childhood
\nIt used to bother me more
\nI don\u2019t know what it means
\nI think it may be something profound
\nI think I may be an alien
\nI\u2019ll find out for sure later
\nIt\u2019s likely I\u2019m more hideous
\nin my alien form than in my human form
\n
\nI work for the Nabisco company
\nI eat cookies for lunch
\nI haven\u2019t brought lunch since I was somewhere
\nin my early twenties
\nI eat Fig Newtons all day and night
\nI go to the barbershop and they call me Tiny
\nI have dark, luxurious hair
\nThe barbers all tell me it\u2019s a pleasure
\nto cut
