A Visitor

I am using the three slaps to find a place where I do not slap myself.

Nobody other than me can make me move myself.

I found a new home fitting this criterion, however tiny that might be.

The bottom of the nostril line.

I am going there to enjoy my new freedom.

I am closing my eyes.


The horse is still there.

The breathing has movement.

I am in the middle.

Sometimes it takes me.

Sometimes it leaves me.

I use its movement to practice my immobility.

My tiny home.

I cannot do much there.

I do my best to keep myself from getting on the horse.


I am getting used to my new tiny home whenever I have a chance.

I am happy.

I feel safe.

I am getting comfortable.


I know the neighborhood now; I am a resident.

I have full control.

I have full access.

I have full privacy.

I have immobility.

However short that might be.

I am safe and secure.

I invest my freedom to increase the length of my stay.


Then I find someone there.

How come?

What are you?

It is an itch.

It is itchy.

A sensation in my tiny home.

I am invaded again.

My freedom is compromised.


I am in 3 slaps case again.

The sensation comes.

I don’t know who or what brings it.

That is case 1.

The sensation stays in my home.

That is case 2.

Will I slap myself?


I let him occupy my home for a while.

He appeared but has not gone.

I am waiting a little, to see the off-case.


He has gone.

I am back in my house.

I did not slap myself.

I wanted him to leave.

And he left.

My freedom is compromised again.

But how, I do not know.


I feel cornered now.

Surprised and frustrated.

Is this sensation a thief?

My room is still there.

Is the sensation a horse?

I am still in my room.

Did he leave a trace?

My room feels the same.


Is he a thief, or a guest?

He takes nothing.

He leaves nothing.

He just uses the room.

just like I do.

And then leaves the room,

just like I do.


I do not feel fully at home.

But I do not feel that I should leave either.


Will he come back again?

What is he doing?


I am opening my eyes, again.
