…the hamster stands in the shower
the hamster’s upturned paw has a small dab of shampoo on it
this will not be enough shampoo
the hamster feels sarcastic
the hamster’s body and cheeks are warm
from the sunlight through the window
and the hamster is very afraid
it feels so sad so early in the day
- tao lin, “hamsters are heads with little characteristics on the head, part two” (from cognitive-behavioral therapy)
