Subsist | Camille Clark
We subsist on the toasting
of ego, of hubris,
we gorge on a celebration
of fine false features.

Call me Mister
Rotten Eggshell,
The Most Kind Fish
Face,
Call me the names
that you do not want
to call yourself, insult
me on life’s
highway, it’s more on
the inflicting
than the inflicted.
The self-proclaimed
Scholars sit and complain
Unwilling to read
Unwilling to think
Only existing to take
Instead of read, understand,
Grow and heal.
