exhibition of selves


exhibition of selves

bodies 
bodies lined up in a morgue 

you could visit them,
like visiting your relatives in a museum. 
but you won’t

the person has changed 
can be dressed up and down 
humorously 
wearing their favourite outfit 

behind the glass
your nose pressed to the cold 
are they alive there?

honesty

There’s honesty in an unmade bed: “She’s got nothing to hide”
