Suspended Animation

Shattered into stiffness.
Broken into frame.

Constructed centuries and generations,
at first it was an innocent game.

The sculptor had his assistants
strike the plaster from the cast
and set what remained
atop the city's steps.

Now you believe
you could be anyone
because you are no one

all at
the same time.
