Part 4, "Plead Guilty To Me"


Plead guilty to me.

You did it.
I know you did it.
If I didn't know it
  I'd have to start walking.

  And walking
  I'd have to look
    Where I was going,
  
    And looking
    I'd have to see
      My feet.

      And seeing my feet
      I'd have no one to blame

      But
      Me for all that 
      Ass

        You kicked.

You did it; admit it; it was you.
I know it was because I was drawn into the sphere of your arms,
through your legendary surface tension, and didn't feel a thing.
I know it was because we splashed
And I am not yet dry.

I know it was because
When I reached in
  I felt your rhythm.

  Serpentine pawing
  Urgent and clawless
    Washed through my ear.

    Then I noticed
    The walls of me
      Were pulsing just the same,

See what you've done to me,
You...
