What if the teeth of the world bite?
Will you smile back?

If you stay here,
an effigy of compassion,
you may live forever, yes,
see how they admire your form.
How poised.

They will restore you,
find your nose,
argue over your genitals,
guard you.
They won't let you break again,
be careful,

no one else can make you again.
Created with love,
how perfect.

If I push you will you fall?
If I give you my legs will you run?
