What would I be without my face?
Beautiful
What would I be if I was suspended in the air?
Free
What if I am bound by a noose?
I am of the people
What if I cannot move?
I am a monument
What of my father, my mother?
They will remember me
What of my riches?
They will crumble into human hands
What resides within this house?
Support beams
What resides within this mind?
A self-mutilating home
Where is the concrete in the eye?
Evaporated within an institution
Where is the adhesive in the hand?
Eviscerated by intuition
Who is the soul that carries this paper?
That holds no weight, like the act of breathing
