A Marionette for acceptance, we found ourselves tame,

Conquered,

With no clarity

But that was alright,

We didn't know any better

We were self-taught

Practicing to old russian films

of Nijinsky, pirouetting

with insanity-

We tried it.

The eloquent rage,

Confusion, we

Mimicked the tremble

in his Contortions,

We didn't know any better

And

It's never been hard for you-

Twisting Italy around your fingers,

Drowning yourself in Peru

But I'm losing something

Among the flowers standing at attention
