run : pipe by Monica Kim

sleep : body is still. dream : body is running

feet hitting concrete. there is a pipe


& nothing else in sight. closed eyes see

through the darkness in the pipe


encasing the body. the body doesn’t know

what she is running away from. only to : pipe,


hiding the body in its shell, pressing

the body to a mold of a pipe-


line. the body follows a line

of people chained to a pipe-


line the size of a skyscraper, bloated

on settler colonial corporate greed piped


through its veins. the body runs away

to the pipe : away from the pipe : run.
