Birth By Name
Where audacity lacks in color,
a perpetual sense of shyness
courts vagueness
ordering the arrangement
of nondescript patterns and occurences.
Birth by name,
and birth by birth,
the ways in which lungs spark to attention
to breathe,
to begin life lost
only to seconds of darkness.
The bite
of collection, an imitation
agitates a stir within the bakery.
Bread conceived
in an oven,
where birth
knows no other name except that
of prejudice.
