Innocence

There are blisters on my feet from walking away.

The summer lasted 40 days and 40 nights
Then it rained.

Whenever he approaches I quiver
Like the pink velvet of a rabbit's nose.

Run away from everything
Guns especially.

Smoke too.

Rain puts out fire
Never smoke.

Steam is good.

Harmless and vaporizing
Vicks, Irons, and Showers.

I call this innocence.
