Did you know I fall so often,
I never get hurt
Did you know until recently
I dismembered my body
Did you know when six
they bound my feet with pink tape
every morning
so my arches would fall
Did you know you need
people to tongue and mouth wounds
the ones no one can glance at
ogle on a New York street
did you know you’re a
commitment phobic,
dyslexic, hypochondriac,
drug-addicted athletic Adonis
did you know I only remembered my brain
empathy’s obsession
did you know I live my heart
