It’s dark, my eyes try to adjust.
My arms…they’re gone, they can’t be.
Try to move my legs…not happening.
I can’t blink…but can see all around me.
A cabinet of glass cups surrounding me,
hello cups—interesting morning…No response.
Light pours in the cabinet, reflecting
off the glass like tiny prisms. And
suddenly something grabs me.
A woman’s hand…Where is she taking me?
She lifts me up, a small clatter,
reverberating clinks echo through my body.
Suspended, I see an oak-trimmed kitchen.
I’m set down, the woman, a tall
brunette opens the refrigerator.
A soft light illuminates a myriad of
juices to refresh me. Ah water, good choice
hurry up please, bring it closer.
Slowly she pours the water into
me, it surges through inside me,
like a powerful orgasm reaching every nerve.
She raises me, her hands slowly
warming my cool exterior, her lips press
themselves on me, and slowly I’m drained.
It feels as if my brain has retreated
into my stomach, my head would be
hung over, useless on my shoulders.
If I don’t act quickly, surely I’ll
lose my consciousness to that
fiendish woman. Why me?
Water sloshes inside me as I’m
placed down again. Her oils smudge
my clear glass. I feel ugly and abused.
Please…no more…enough, but still she
raises me and throws away my excess
life into an aluminum basin, and leaves me.
Tiny droplets of my life run down my side.
Please dry me, make me shine amongst my
brothers again…let me be with my family.
I like to think if I ever wake up as a glass cup,
this would be pretty much how it goes. Well maybe
not the whole being drained part.
