held through the neck
so much from outside
tightens around
without even knowing
what it is doing
in the real ways
humans feel alone
and won't even think
gentler ways also
may actually help
what we leave behind

vines gather
the abandoned
into useful
  support
to hide what is
under its own
growing mass

hard to remember
   the difference
between what i know
what i have learned
   or any process
differentiating me
from tactile senses
that must be true
