What makes us Different –
Lady in White?
What makes us Broken – Clocks
Looping in a Broken – Record
A Scratch of Chalk?
Our Chalkboard was – a Sidewalk
Your – Clock
Is my Permission Slip –
To Slip into my own – Pool
Your Broken – Poetry – is my Slide
I’m glad that we’re Different –
Lady in White
I’ve tried on your Beautifully Broken – Dress
Your Temporary – Immortality
But I didn’t like the Way – your Dog barked
So thanks –
Lady in White
– I truly appreciate your Permission
But we can’t preach Autonomy
When Belonging Broken – together
Which is why I must Slip –
Out of this Dress
– Too Tight and Heavy on Me –
And become – Different
From even – You
