You Might Also Feel Dizzy
after Deborah Paradez
Diarrhea for more than two
days confusion fever and
weight loss are symptoms
of not having had enough
water you might also feel
dizzy and lose your ability
to pee or sweat to function
properly they say a blood
test must be taken on an
empty stomach they want
to see the real you when it’s
all stripped away at the lab
the nurse injects the needle
but fidgets a bit in my arm
and I pass out like a porce-
lain plate hitting the floor
when everything is stripped
away whats left is a fiber wet
with sap the part you feed your-
self on if you feast on yourself
for too long you disappear
