THE QUESTION:

THE ANSWER:

Louise Glück, "Inferno" // Joshua Graham

[fragilepoetry]

The curse of feeling deeply in a world that devours the soft

[girlbeneaththesmiles]

Are you made of metal?

Cold to the touch and cold within?

Is there anything but wires in that chest of yours?

Is the thump thump thump a heart?

Or just your mechanical parts?

You say you feel nothing

To be human is to feel

To not feel is to not be human

So tell me, what are you?

Are you flesh and bone?

Do you even bleed?

Does oil leak from your veins?

Are you a living being?

Or are you a machine?
