What if we came in pieces and parts
in plastic bags
what if we were left on the doorstep
lit like a fuse
crackling
burning
what if we came
in at the middle
stayed to the end and came back for the start
what if we came like a ransom note
what if we came like an afternoon storm
what if we came fully formed like a colt
wet and warm
what if we came through the wall
like a ghost
or what if we came like a fish to the surface
what if we came like a bubble and popped
what if we came in pieces and parts
and no one came to put us together
what if we came in a cardboard box
what if no one
opened us up.
