Changed

They said something mean about me
and didn’t notice it was mean.

 So my heart wandered
into the rainy night without them
and found a canopy to hide under.

My eyes started
seeing through things.
Like gauze.
Old self through new self.
My flexible body
went backwards
and forwards
in time.

It’s hard to describe but true:
I grew another head
with better ideas
inside my old head.
