“Destruction is a form of creation.”


My body is redundant 

It reeks of reckless recreation 

It is glass fragile and frail 

In a moment it can be shattered 

Risking my life crossing a road

A dangerous endeavor

Seemingly responsible choices become threats 

I have cracks and chips covering my crevasses

Constantly looking over my shoulder 

Waiting for the next 

My body is inescapable 

Until one day its not 

That day i dread 

My redundant body gone 

Swept from under my feet 

Broken china on the floor 

For now i wait 

Enduring these endeavors 

Looking over my shoulder

To keep this reckless body 

recognizable
