I can’ t swim because I can’ t fit
into the water

I am
two million feet tall

but thank you for inviting me

I am standing in line
inside my giant shirt

If someone wanted to weaponize me
they would tell me to lie down on New York

and the city I destroyed
would hurt me back

I eat stars
It’ s a riot

I know
my big mouth
full of  their light
