“Often it is with our own perceptions that we imprison others. Whether intentionally or inadvertently, our gazes burn across the populated landscape. Our eyes tear at the flesh of every diffident bystander; whom we invalidate, if deemed wanting in their selected guise.

Not yet feeling whole, they at times permit us to make their garments, and we insist on dressing them in pinks and blues. These standard issue uniforms we make so wonderfully snug for others, though the ones we are assigned are never quite our size. The wide stripes across the fronts blend nicely however, with the bars we project with our eyes.”
