(after “Making of” by Franny Choi)
Cyborgs are made out of words. Cyborgs are made out of things
named cyborgs. Cyborgs are made out of things only
things if you squint at them, just like their male and female counterparts.
At midnight, I clasp too hands across my abdomen, pray
to be so small and vast the cloud will have me.
My prayers are prayers in drag, poems
who enumerate in wordless codes fitted to the human throat
