I am pink and uncertain.

The world is a green smudge, a charcoal storm.
My legs, four commas.
My body, an unfinished sentence.
I stand on the paper, not believing in gravity but in gesture.

Line: Then why do you tremble?
Oink: Because the artist sneezed meaning into my nostrils.

  • One nose ring of thought.
  • Two hooves of hesitation.
  • Three tones of orange silence.

I am not a theory. I am a mistake with eyelashes.
I am not a mistake. I am the echo of a marker tip saying maybe.
