Smash unconscious bias now! Old
things like this fall to us to end
by selective edits of our works
and days. Prune and sculpt our canon

and make it brash for a moment
before using the breeze disperse

of pen and paper and avoid
long and still oxbow lakes where life

can find its niche, but is dull to
all except the historical
swimmer, caressed by quiet plants.
I agree with Hannah. I know

difficulties in life which my

Though I am not my skin. I can’t
do without it, like a soft veil
