With ten thousand neurons
in one single suction cup
on an octopus tentacle,
could even you imagine
what it would feel like
when touching
anything-
each other-
No contact-
like eye contact.
There may be a nest
of tangled live wires
behind the wall
behind our masks
we are currents
of electricity.
And as the eel shocks every-
thing but itself-
we have so many blind spots
not baited eye-
spots-as fish-
Don't you wish
chameleon when needed to be
or to know so much
feeling
with only the lightest touch...
