An Example for the Masses



You can see me standing here
the substance down my chest
It pools, at my feet, and you wait
take a number in your hand
When they call you up, you cringe
needle slides beneath skin
and you are one of them.
I stood still, and though my chest
was washed with blood
they kept me aside
as an example for you.
They called out your number
you quivered and started
Demanding to know where you had been,
you couldn’t answer.
And so you were led to a room,
far away,
stood in the center,
the incisions were made
And you cried, to bleed
As an example for me.



Myself.
