My fragility no longer matters341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtTMVECc65
my mask is gone341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOje9fgYjI
the air burns my lungs341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHitRJQ4kp

Doors swing open upon341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIWVfwN5pY
close proximity.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC59XHK8Q6R
I choke on the scent of blood;341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRe2P29r2V0
down winding halls341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10qv5KfTpM
they present me to a room of341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzO2wHUuRkJ
people341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqytnsQGMW
stained red;341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqClov5Pra

What is this, Dr. Escano?341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqv5loN5eSs
I shrink under authority; her341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8SLUZR7eD

dark depth of her eyes, her341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxCI3OB5dE
charcoal skin, her tight smile341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkPWu1sdb1
and so do they.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxNPNze8GF
A gift, Miss Simone.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMNBWZOcUP
A gift. I’m a gift.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZA0qSOxjGC
Somehow that’s not reassuring.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BZSqAb1vw
Elaborate, doctor.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNf9WTCJDz
I spare a glance at them;341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQe9HB4xWe
notice how they shake and I wonder341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdHHTVCAeg
did they think this through?341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmJ1739lH9
Will I change the world?341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuV200MProL
Miss Simone, you’ve noticed…341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngIq4u9ilI
Noticed what, I think, notice341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FKF6NQjFs
I’m not like them?341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4imtoqmjS
She must be thinking the same.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeboCDY0MZo
Oh, I have noticed.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFf82Fq7Yyt
Her gaze falls onto me; angry, powerful341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCedIMeDrg1
I only know these words from subconscious streams.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBSI5HpKBY
The language built inside of me.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6DnQXkZvB
Then allow me to explain341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdgcUNAnpn
she’s the answer to our problems341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrASVVVnP4
she’s going to fix the world341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcr7nxjcrT
but only if you agree.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISRSskMqXa
She glances back at her equals341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjrGAHYQvi
they appear, perhaps, curious341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkA41XiowgY
much like I.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvvtiOFbSY
But not for the same reasons.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbY4JZbcOh
Alright, doctor, say I agree.
