(from) body of an animal

it is one thing to look at an image of a human fetus and to see an unfinished creature... on its way to becoming human.... it is another thing altogether to see adults as unfinished, premature, half evolved....
*
i never thought i'd last this long in the body of an animal.
*
i am second away from awakening
standing still in the noise like a monument to moonlight
i keep cemeteries i evaporate in a factory i left decades ago
in this zoo my body the blinds never shiver
in the silver
walls bend....
i am a second away
