you remain 
so light 
and wide and 
gaping 
all the time? 
Always exposed; 
always 
so susceptible 
to the slightest 
perturbations 
and super-
saturation with 
Earthly imposters?
Unlike you, I'd
make a poor 
open sore: 
I'm too often 
oppressed 
by the absence 
of low pressure;
I too
quickly grow 
uncomfortable 
with my own lack 
of obscurity.
