Difficult to Fly


Change,

to make different,

says Merriam-Webster.

 

What would I? 

I'd change the thing on front of my head,

under my hair,

above my neck. 

 

If I changed my face,

maybe you would listen

to the words that come out my mouth. 

 

If I changed my face, 

maybe I'd be taken seriously

when speak my mind. 

 

Change, 

what would I?

I'd change that thing

that makes it difficult to fly.
