Citizen Fish

Blind people must fall in love with a sense of mind
a sense of touch/but when
you insist on finding shadows in which to kiss/and down the lights to cover
the sights of your nakedness/it feels so restrained/are
we really ashamed/of
what we possess?/it's just nakedness/feeling too fat
feeling too thin/needing
some clothing to cover the skin/thinking in terms of
original sin/not knowing
where the other one's been/afraid to discuss the difference between/falling
in love and physical need/a thousand distant painted
looks/staring from adver-
ts and top shelf books/makes us afraid of what we reveal/how
it's portrayed is
not how it feels/it feels so individual/it feels so
other-personal/dresses up
creates fiction/under restriction/fear of not being
what the other one sees/
image contradicting what lies underneath/all the protection
comes off in the
end/nothing left to judge you by - nothing to defend/covered
up the truth so
long it seemed it wasn't there/here it is so laugh
aloud or tell me why you're
scared
