Painting by Gagik Manoukian
The Eye of the Needle
I look at my wrist,
It thinness,
Its strange thinness.
The thinness brags
It could squeeze
Through the eye of a needle.
I asked the thinness
"Why would you want to
squeeze through a needle's eye?"
Thinness replied, "Because
I like the sound of the word 'squeeze,'
Not the reality of squeezing.
