Twirling

my daughter

our love

~

watching you grow

is viewing

a dance

unwinding

in slow motion

~

Code

excluded

your secret language

I’ll never know

or understand

~

Transitions

I wear my vanity

of veins on my brow

caring about myself

and the crust of the earth

~

my geodesic dome

gyrates a pulse

and my ego calls it

geography

~

it’s all about me

and it doesn’t really matter

the stars shine on us

and we’re all wearing sunscreen

~

breathe out the dust

breathe

~

Entitled

No one owes you

owns you

erase confusion

create beautiful illusions

~

Civilized

fairness

loyalty

regressive traits

can’t stop progress

~

Identity

in · for · ma · tion

I am not my name

I am not my birthdate

~

my mobile phone is not my life

neither is my toothbrush

~

is a person’s identity singular ?

am I all my years put together ?

is identity a constant ?

is my identity who I am right now ?

~

I’ll be a totally different person in 20 years

we can’t outrun ourselves

I’m not the same person from 20 years ago

same name

different person

~

everything defines me

nothing defines me

maybe

~

I am not my bones

we are spirit

Exhibit Design

fabrication

my smile

~

smothering dysfunctions

shielding

creating what I lack

~

plastic face

covering my heart

my eyes

~

my life is real

my life is a lie

~

Camouflage

I wear

many illusions

~

glimpsing

moving targets

changing fashions

masking

contorting

my vulnerabilities

~

Branded / Labelled & Misunderstood

More*
of the same old thing

Free*
always followed by an asterisk

New*
your perception; remarketed and repackaged

~

Surface

following

forgettable fashions

~

doesn’t matter

what we say, dress, think

nobody’s listening

~

the body is the message

here today

gone tomorrow
