'but you are the freest kind of man' I said,
'an artist at least, surely you can overcome this'
'in its nature lacking and empty--jealous even!

'you printed the mosquito so cleanly
that it lost its form, you are powerful
as a shape-shifter like an alchemist or a landscape painter.

'oh, but the kitchen is the closest place for it
and the chandelier makes the dining room table safe.
but I'd like to escape that sofa and the eccentric
wet halos that will laminate this night for us both'
