my body exists as it relates to the images I have been given for what it should be, physicality disregarded

glossy photo representations to imitate

endless stream of imitations to reproduce without beginning or end

endless stream of zeros and ones.

I = hypertext

I = soundbite

I am a collection of problems to be solved, needs to be met

Each day I use trademarked items to smear across my body

to brush across my teeth | to pour into my mouth | to rub across my hands | to smooth onto my lashes | to cover up my skin | to place into my eyes | to color over my mouth | to remove blemishes | to contact my family | to add volume | to further a good cause | to increase happiness | to fit into society

every human instinct diverted, subverted, inverted
