What Life is like with half an earlobe (Spoken word)

1. Yes half is really gone, please stop staring

2. I blame my condition on my father, everyone knows that was a shady haircut

3. You never truly know yourself until you know what camp you fall in,

half-lobes and full-lobes

4. Yes I just separated personalities by ears

5. Separation is key for a revolution, because America needs something to fight for,

something to die for, something to blame their lives for

5.5 Seperation is easy when one camp stands half-hearted, aching as everyone who

gets to be whole laughs at our twistid disposition 

6. I remember the first time I noticed that I was a half-lobe. I was six, happily

throwing a football on the playground. Fast enough to seem normal, but not

quite fast enough to escape Nate Christians eye.

7. What's wrong with you

7. Normal people aren't missing pieces

7. People who aren't normal don't have any friends

7. I lost my friends

8. I tried to cover up my ear with things like band-aids, it was always easier to be

asked

what happened? rather than, what's wrong?

9. Isn't it interesting how we tape together our holes rather than embracing the

little imperfections that bring people like me here, and isn't it interesting how

deformity is just a speech impediment for conformity

10. By this age I would do the unthinkable. I started to rub the ridges of my

earlobe in hope that it would bring good luck. This horrible 

piece which used to define me was the innate quality I turned to for good

fortune.

11. What side do you fight for

12. Fill in the blank
