poem::: what was that

===WHAT WAS THAT===

a hard cut- sliced like watermelon
heavy & hard
the way she made me feel
what was that?
why did that happen?
i ask myself over and over
this time & that
beginning & ending
once forgotten
but i always remember

scorched & blistered
that was the way it was
gagged & blinded
that was the way time went
beginning was only the ending
the middle too brief to be mentioned
