When
they come for you no bigger than a piece of fruit,
weighing
no more and no less than a water biscuit,
this
will be my excuse:
that
I hoped you were just testing yourself
as
I might subtly and irresistibly
poke
at a sensitive tooth. That is, not morbidly,
but
out of a curiosity
to
locate the exact, minute, sensory transition -- between
merely
knowing the definition
of
pain, and knowing the meaning.
