Have I changed,
fuck, I’ve changed,
and it’s found in
the deep, deep
water, the bottomless
lake, where I took off
my clothes and stood
naked as I
threw them there.

I threw them away
and they sank to the
bottom because
of their weight,
and I put on some new
clothes, light as air,
and in them,
tie-dyed against
the brilliant sky,
I say again,
“fuck, I’ve changed.”
