The primary art of posing
as a living statue is being
able to conceal breathing.

Of secondary importance,
is maintaining a position
without falling off a perch.

Being coupled symbiotically
these are two inseparables
the ultimate co-dependents.

Therefore it is impossible
if one is not permitted to
breathe in and out freely.

Which means George Floyd
will never become a living
statue for this basic reason.
