Open it
watch it ooze and leak
burst and puss
infected with some unspeakable thing

Examine it
roll it between pressed fingers
then wipe it on the secret corner of your flesh
with all the other unspeakable things

and suffer
streaks of pain throb heartbeats
revealing the unspeakable things

Expose it
speak it's unspeakable name
and turn around
pulling off the rubber gloves
that protect you from feeling
