Keep your expectations to yourself.
While you wonder
whether we are a particle or a wave,
we’ve smashed through that wall,
shed light like an old skin.
We are more than.
Each one of us an army,
a quantum human.
We are Schrodinger’s immigrants.
We are the fish that learned to fly.
A million digital identities.
We are the decimals of pi.
We’re synthetic. Kinesthetic.
We have ADD and HPV and
F-C-K-what you think about me.
We’re the letters you forget after LGBT.
We are the blind photographers,
the shooting stars.
The children-slash-activists.
We touch down. We speak up.
If you bury us, we are seeds.
We are not defined by what we are.
So keep your expectations to yourself.
We are More Than that.
