in the margins


maybe i am just

deluded

cannot claim these labels

spectrums of marginalised identities

and i am only

one inch of whitewash

a spectator mistaken for print

do not look for a story

here

editing

marks mistakes misspellings

heteronormativity is easier to write

than

invisible
