What is the tone of this poem and who is the speaker? how do you know?

my life was the size of my life.
its rooms were room-sized,
its soul was the size of a soul.
in its background, mitochondria hummed,
above it sun, clouds, snow,
the transit of stars and planets.
it rode elevators, bullet trains,
various airplanes, a donkey.
it wore socks, shirts, its own ears and nose.
it ate, it slept, it opened
and closed its hands, its windows.
others, i know, had lives larger.
others, i know, had lives shorter.
the depth of lives, too, is different.
there were times my life and i made jokes together.
there were times we made bread.
once, i grew moody and distant.
i told my life i would like some time,
i would like to try seeing others.
in a week, my empty suitcase and i returned.
i was hungry, then, and my life,
my life, too, was hungry, we could not keep
our hands off our clothes on
our tongues from

The first one. As the speaker can't sleep therefore hears "a visitor".
