What is Normal?

Looking into others windows

i imagine myself in their bodies

feel their toes w I g g l e

in their socks at the dinner table

feel wine 

r

U

N

down their throats

their full belly laugh

Slouch i their chairs 

throw their heads back 

sit for hours through dinner and dessert

stand and wash dishes, 

curl up with their bodies at rest 

and feel their 

Hearts b e a t. 

Normalcy. 

Stand in a shower 

without collapsing and feel their pores empty. 

What is normal?

brush their teeth 

Pearly white, bloodless

Feel their enamel 

the raised bumps on their tongue

Look at their bodies and think nothing

think everything

which is to think of nothing

i imagine…

that i sleep normally with dreams

    with ease

    uninterrupted 

    restful

I imagine their dreams 

their occasional nightmares

Feel warm and still in blankets

Light and airy

but this is my own dream

being them, 

being simple, 

being normal.

being able

to have a day 

Have a body

without worry. 

But, what is normal?
