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
