I Have a Feeling...

I have a feeling.
A new, weird one.
It is like… nothing.

I think a bird frozen in the sky would feel
like this.
Or a tree that grew upside down
into the ground.

A supercomputer
that can’t answer 2 + 2.
Or a lockmaker
who can’t open his own pin.

I think if I were a lamp
that made darkness expand instead of light —
maybe I would feel the same.

Or a fish,
living on the ground.

I feel as helpless
as a leg that needs scratches
under a cast.

I feel scared,
like a snowball rolling and getting bigger
that doesn’t want to harm anything.

I’m ashamed,
like the only apple tree in the garden
that has not fruited
even one single apple.

I have a really, really weird feeling.
I think it followed me home.
It doesn’t talk.
But I think it wants to stay.
HELP!
