that i exist in this space and time
in this human body
that is mine
that i get up to feed
get up to ***
brush its hair
and teeth
sometimes i forget that im a face
that im a body that takes up space
i forget
i am
and i am to perceive
hairs on my arm
hairs on my face
eyelashes
my body
and its face
dually mine
i get shocked at the face that stares me back
in the mirror
i am your remembrance
once you remember me
once more
i look away and i
forget that i breathe
forget that my feet
stand on the ground and walk
as though a normal human being
forget what it is like to be
with others and with me
only remembering the panic of existing
as to uphold others memories of me
