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’.
