I am Gulliver, and I am
under attack.
Strings are binding me to the earth.
Little arrows are
flying at me from little people on the ground.
Individually, they
don’t hurt.
However, together they pique me, and the hurt is not
lessened by the masses.
And with every new string they throw over my
limbs and secure to the ground, come another arrow.
Another arrow
comes with each string.
Soon, I will be
covered in tiny ropes.
And, where there are no ropes tying me down,
I
will bleed because they continue to shoot their arrows at me in the
same places,
Over and over and over again.
The people are small, and
do see out of their own peripheral vision.
Tied down, I will bleed at
the hands of the little people who I never intended to hurt in the
first place.
