Karmaic By Nature - For Jessie

Karmaic By Nature
he said
in a way that suggested
he didn't know what he was saying.
Karmaic by Nature?
I asked.
He
looked
down
and said that when he was
tall
he used to look down
all the time at people.
and what about now?
I asked
now that you have been shrunk to the size of
a flea
by your time machine that went wrong again?
he sighed
Well, that's just it
he said
I still look down, but now I look down so that people won't see
my hideous
human
face
on the body of
a flea.
