“Anglo-American legal systems conceptualize their subjects – with specific exceptions – as individuals with minds, or mental states, who intend to commit, and who foresee their outcome to the extent that any reasonable person could do so (Morse 2004, 2006, 2008; Morse and Hoffman 2007)” (Rose & Abi-Rached 178).
I am already spoken for.
Brain scans and testing and
the stamp on my chart.
The condemned
the condamned,
condamnation
condemning the nation
with red stamps,
yellowing papers nailed
to the front doors
of my mind.
“Doesn’t work well with others”
What the hell is this?
One picture of
my gray matters.
The only matter
that really matters.
But “I” matters.
Why can’t I matter?
That white tube
that whirrs and blurrs
and spits me out
with a stamp that reads:
“Not suitable
for this society”.
