The Object and the Human
they swear they can name, date, and color-code your brain cells
but not one has been revealed
and they're just naming the intricate details of your mask.
they assume that the teddy bear is stuffed with cotton,
but they've never seen the maggots that crawl out at night--
during every night of every time zone.
the bear is filled with meat and blood and complex cells.
and they assert that she is the one who needs her eyes sewn back on.
