Worm

I wake up in a new house each day
New bed
New pillow
There is a sprain in my neck
Ouch.
A strange colour near me
A reptile that hides its skin.
I almost touch it ten times.
An extra toe, an extra bone stick out
From my two feet.
I don’t know what to do with this new small limb.
I wouldn’t mind an extra mind
Or a brain the size of a drum.
A pea sized penny sits on my shoulders for now.
There’s new skin growing-
Purple and pink on branches.
I’m green with jealously.
A worm that won’t move
Slither or stare- just
Suspend at an angle.

I have no bones or spine to worry about any more.
