Standardized empty circles,
pencil in each blank completely,
tell us your story in less than 12 rows.
As the graphite sank beneath
cold dead paper stained with a broken biography.
Where's my face?
Where's my soul?
Where's my identity?
Am I just a number?
A blank filled in?
Not enough room to describe
so I subscribe to "other".

Standardized empty circles,
pencil in each blank completely,
tell us your story in less than 12 rows.
As the graphite sank beneath
cold dead paper stained with a broken biography.
Where's my face?
Where's my soul?
Where's my identity?
Am I just a number?
A blank filled in?
Not enough room to describe
so I subscribe to "other".
