Lines

The New Feel

Lines can change your life
And I’ve never done cocaine
Also, wrinkles

In this case
Words

“Body found Thursday”

I used to think I wanted to be someone, somebody, anybody
(but me?)

But not this body
All the bodies I didn’t want to be
Bodies of water,
But mostly found bodies
You didn’t find people. You found bodies.
Human bodies. Naked bodies. Dead bodies.

I like to think I’m more than my body
Self-affirmation, and positivity,
I guess I’ve gotten the message,
The media has changed it by the way

We’d all like to think we are more than our body
Until sex
And sometimes, I suspect,
girls like Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid
