PATCH UPDATE #9: FROGS/BATS/RATS

i am held hostage to the crevices of body. it isn’t mine

and i did not ask to be frisked like this by men who see

me as a science experiment, dissecting parts of me

from clavicle-down, jam inside for a salve to only taste

once, their red beady eyes shifting back and forth

as i commit jesteratrocities of the flesh to get away—

it’s all on CCTV anyway, how i hallucinate myself

running away as a pewterhued ghost in a lacywhite

nightgown, the tape set to rewind but never pause.
