A MAN FREEZES HIS TONGUE TO ANISH KAPOOR'S "CLOUD GATE" IN MILLENNIUM PARK, CHICAGO.

Things weren’t good
I think you thought you felt stuck
whatever stuck means to you
I felt numb because you felt stuck
I mean what numb means to me
not like the cold fingers that manipulate this pen to write these words...
but more like empty
like the uterus you carried previous to it’s now expanded version;
this accommodating version...
like I fear I may at times end up feeling
in the future if everything goes
wrong, wrong, wrong,
and I feel stuck
to what I think we all can acknowledge as a matter of taste...
but that which is widely and roundly hailed and acclaimed
by the vast majority of individuals
on all levels
