A Flowery Corset
Self-expression is not in the tattoos the clothes the hair
it is the eye bags
the crooked fingers
strong backs
knobby knees
missing limbs
yellow and crooked teeth
the rolls of fate around the waist
it is the phyical expressions of survial that tell what you do with your life
the body is direct
you cannot hide who you are
who you are is what you do
and it never started with you.
