Biology


I am Flaw-full

My heart with its

Sticky blood

My veins

Thin and cracked

My nails

Grimy, short, and crusted

My body is flaw-full

But so is yours

And hers

And his

Her eyebrows are

Filled with bacteria

Her ankles

With harsh angles

Her scalp is

Oily and bumpy

We both have legs we don’t want

And wants no one should hold

Our body

Fulls of cells

And mutations

And holes

Hearts beating until we die

The same heating from our eyes

Watching these others

Walk past

Fast they scamper

I am pampered

I have arms and legs and teeth

Some are born

With the wrong stuff

Underneath

But I was born whole

With my parts and my flaws

I have less than some so I am

Flawless
