In and Among Statues

Erica Ann Welch

I find myself in and among statues.

In this world where the adults live
Words laid like concrete fall like heavy stones
Instead of music.

One day I will be one
That decides what is important
Today.

But for now I am wet paint,
And you must not touch me
Because too many already have.

Their fingerprints distinctive:
Changing and rearranging me
Into a person that matters.
Another inglorious statue.
