I walk on desert thorns,
But blades of grass cut into my feet.
I sleep on broken glass,
But the touch of cotton makes me bleed.
I can fly in air,
But I fear to walk on ground.
I can hear silence,
But no, not sound.
I can see the ethereal,
But to the tangible I am blind.
I stay ahead of time,
But in a race with people, I am left behind.
