library assembly line

return return return

fat books and Helen Keller

check out, reuse, reassemble

my bones with my nerves,

here's a diagram -

the blood vessels go -

here -

around my heart -

it's supposed to beat like that

no i don't know why -

people use it for love

and shit

but i think it just looks

like fat and blood and blue -

wrists attach to hands

ugly hands but 

my sister thinks they're pretty -

she's a person too

she likes to tell me what to do -

are you sure that vein goes there?

i thought i was supposed to be able

to feel my knees -

no i haven't been in the snow, 

they're numb they're frozen -

i'd like to be able to walk yes thank you -

the instructions say i've got a smile

i guess it goes here -

and a laugh too -

hey, fuck you

give me my laugh

no no no it's mine it's

mine 

my laugh.

please?

hey -

i'd like to be able to 

laugh please it isn't funny -

if it were, i'd be laughing

(idiot)

you're hurting me!

give me back my laugh

i want it 

it's mine and i want it and -

you're not a person

you're a mouth

and you're swallowing me whole -

it isn't funny -

give it back

give it back.
