'what you were'
you were just but
needles and notes
a pair of white gloves
a few sets of tools
at best a villain
artistic subject
a psychological study
a cautionary tale
you were dissected into
a group of symbols
a bunch of objects
distilled to be an archetype
you were a bundle of
bones and pictures
there was little left of you
history sucked you dry
you wanted more
was it worth it
i think not
