I am a catalog of genes, and someone lost the index.<\/p>\n
Blue eyes, brown hair(not too long, thick, dense) hips<\/p>\n
and thighs for running short distances, a laugh that<\/p>\n
someone says is like an aunt, a smile that was braced in,<\/p>\n
a nose straight, soft, long lashes, mesomorphic basic<\/p>\n
amalgation of genes messily slotted and categorized<\/p>\n
a pinch of this and that, a mouth that talks and a smile<\/p>\n
that crinkles the nose and a body I punish for crimes<\/p>\n
I committed in grief, in self-pity, and I swallow my pride<\/p>\n
and just look at me. Look at the insecurities and<\/p>\n
see the pride, the shame, the joy, the grief, the pain.<\/p>\n
