give me a reason
so that my body is no longer sovereign
no longer this inviolable place
why changes in the frequency of my breath
rhythm control
heartbeats
eyelids
one has tarnished my body
I feel it run through my veins:
the shine of tiny crystals
semi-conductors
that reflect and shine
under the light of day,
an invisible tattoo
patterns under my skin
soluble micro-needles
new identity
digital portable
of a mixture of polymers
sugar data storage
bio-detection
these metals take away my right to live
the privacy of my being
my story
follows me everywhere
day and night
my travels my bed
my meals my words
always in anguish and fear
threatening my breathing
the quantum points of my body
will cause tragic destruction
of my vital organs.
give me a reason to live
in this strange world
