Stunted Beginnings

Barbara Kruger

Standoffish. Closed. Guarded.  I find it nearly incapable to reach out, to touch, to grasp, to hold, to cherish.  My means for companionship almost always fail me.  My rituals are superfluous rendering me supercilious.

Untouched.

Suspended in a state in unfair apathy.  Ready to flip a page.

I wish to relate.  To be affected.
