why must you be
so god damned plastic?
why won't you bend to my will?
i had forgotten about the monster you hide under your skin.
but all it took was that one look to remind me.
the smell of iron wafts through my memory,
a reminder that i am bodied,
inescapable.
no, i'm sure my heel is not the cause of this visit.
sure, i'll turn the gown around.
and i promise i won't ask questions
while you take pictures of the inside of my flesh,
though i would really like to.
i would really like to shake the answers out of you,
shake that sad and knowing look off your face.
but you don't have the answers,
and i am but a question.
i am a history
penned by some other country's writers;
a palimpsest love song.
i remember feeling really good about myself
the day i realized that everything you seek you find
in the last place you look.
i felt like quite the philosopher.
i still don't quite understand this tension between what is and what will be.
i'm in constant pursuit of then, be it past or future.
