It seems to be in the nature of things
to be viewed at, gaped, then dismissed,
when treated like an artifact, on display, hanging
on a walk-way like a sign, mutual, visual
interactions reduced to the quick, transactional.
But I am your difference after taking out
the value of my visual attributes, or whatever
is left from your reductions. Do I owe you residuals
every time you peer into my features,
watching shifts in my color or lines?
I am neither an artifact nor your entertainment.
I don’t intend to keep hanging on walls.
