Consumerism
Chris Silverberg
Silvery water rippled prettily;
I drank it; it was quicksilver;
My insides disappeared.
Suddenly, I was nothing,
Shocking! I was air.
Could I fly, then?
Then I realized it would eat
More than just my heart.
I would lose my eyes
My ears would cease
To function. Hollow fingers
Could not touch.
As the water rippled,
Rose to my eyeballs,
Finally, hid me from myself
My hollow shell crumbled.
Did I ever wonder why
I drank the pretty water
When it was taking my soul?
