What do we like best

about ourselves?

Our inability

to be content.

We might see this

restlessness

as a chip

not yet cashed in.

You appear

because you’re lonely

maybe.

You would not say that.

You come to tell me

by cooking for yourself.

You’ve figured out

what units you’ll need

to exchange for units

if you intend

I know I mustn’t

interrupt

Hectic and flexible,

flames

are ideal

new bodies for us!
