Your Work of Art

I am neutral clay waiting for your hands to mold me

So make me something

Shape me to fulfill your magical imaginary

Surreal unbelievable fantasy

And I will be your forest nymph

Or your mermaid or your glimpse

Of an angel or I'll parade

As your f*****g goddess

Or masquerade

As something beautiful that I am but

I'm not

 

Or maybe, if you so prefer, I can be a w***e

Or the annoying dipshit whom you'll gladly show the door

And the floor with your mental backhand swing

Maybe we can be boxers in a ring

And rival each other with bedpost notches

Or we can hopscotch

And jump rope like we're just old friends

Like make believe pretend

As we undress each other with our eyes

And pray to some unhearing god

That this thing between us

Just dies

 

Mold me, oh omnipotent one,

Because I am a lesser creature

And keep me around, so I can be a double feature

Of available a*s

Or obsessive, silly little girl

To flatter you

To make me hurl

Silly little mouse, in your potter hands,

Something so forgettable in 

The grand scheme of things

The portrait of inferiority

And disregard me entirely

Spit on me

Because you can

 

And hide my face in clay

If I look better that way

Bury me alive under layers of whatever s**t you want

So you can say

"I crushed this thing I made, this fantasy"

And don't you dare see

That I have a head and a mind and a soul

And an oceans wide expansive human identity

Twist and contort me into a work of art

So you can mask

My beating f*****g heart

 

Don't you dare peel the layers off

And look me in the eye

Or maybe, just this once, allow your heart to cry

And your hands to feel

The truth scrawled on my naked flesh--

 

I am real.
