To Be

Dab (@Pteropodiday, tumblr), "I Think About Helen A Lot", 2022

What can I change to become a ‘Who?’

My body and spirit are anything but void, there's a corridor within me that goes and goes

I walk into a room and I'm not short enough, not wide enough, not soft enough, not harsh enough

Is there a map that leads to somewhere close to human? Does it make me a monster to ask? 

What must be done to become a ‘who?’

I am incapable, maybe, of is and are. 

I am anything, not something. Still I will always be closer to ‘it’ than ‘We’.
