what’s on your mind when you’re
looking at the flaws I have tried
so desperately to conceal as though
I could paste on yet one more
layer one more bit of cover one more
thing to misdirect your
attention I want your
attention but only carefully curated
attention somehow on me and yet not on
me at all all at once what’s on your
mind when you see all of
me what do you see when I stand here naked and all of my
flaws are up for your
understanding what’s on your
mind when you see what I
don’t want you to see?
