they measure millimeters of bone to tell us who we are where we come from the curve of my incisors my orbital sockets hold pools of blue despite their shape I am a mixed thing with an under bite hiding the gap in my teeth I broke the extra bone in my foot, feet whose ancestors were removed by hands whose decedents counterfeit art in styles that were stolen I am a mixed thing who dreams in a language I'm learning to speak from a tongue that was colonized at birth... how will you measure me?
