A Life In A Liminal Space
Susana Vargas Cervantes/S.A.
I long to be contained
So, I poured myself on you
But through your wholes I disappeared
And I don’t know where I went
Ambitions gone beyond
Challenged gestures and affects
Upside down representation
Accused of plagiarism to a plumber
Plagiarism to a spectacular Elsa
I don’t know
But yet you defined me and us
Ambitions gone beyond
Challenged gestures and affects
Machine aesthetics
As I parted
Divided
I came together again
Your wholes were well thought
I just didn’t know
Intentions gone beyond
Challenged gestures and affects
Upside down interpretations
You made it or not
There is a new thought
You knew it or not
I was contained
Forever changed
I live in a liminal space
Lost between the ordinary
Or elevated to the form
Intentions gone beyond
Challenged gestures and affects
Upside down interpretations
I turned yellow
