“Me”

Cindy Chiuchiolo
It’s cut and dry for the cut and dry,
But I’m whole and wet and sick of cliches.
It’s too quiet for madness
Or too loud for isolation.
And you’ll think
Nothing’s that simple.
What’s my face value then?
Give me a label,
I’ll give you a laugh
Words are words
A paper is a paper
And I am a person
