Open Gesture of an I 
I want to give more of my time 
to others the less I have of it, 
give it away in a will and testament, 
give it to the girls’ club, give it 
to the friends of the urban trees. 
Your life is not your own and 
never was. It came to you in a box 
marked fragile. It came from the 
complaint department like amends 
on an order you did not place with 
them. Who gave me this chill life. 
It came with no card. It came 
without instruction. It said this 
end up though I do not trust those 
markings. I have worn it upside 
downs. I have washed it without 
separating and it did not shrink. 
Take from it what you will. I will
