I wish there was no age or number
Or a mirror
Staring back at you:
“You’re old”
I wish there was no money or number
Or a fat number
In a tuition account:
“You Owe”
I wish there was no heart or pounding
Or a flicker in my chest
Frantic flicker:
“You’re scared”
I wish there was no breathing or panting:
“You’re sacred”
“You’re small”
“You’re vulnerable”
I wish I was giant breathing the clouds
Smashing earthlings
With giant foot”
“I’m mighty”
“I’m fearless”
“I’m big” “And no number shall haunt me”
Goya (Francisco de Goya y Lucientes): The Met: metmuseum.org
