the shock of amazement is a stone
living statues pose for pleasures
imagination swells as it creates
your body a sculpture of desire
a frozen face of pretend's attempt
emotionless to the gaze of some
a non-existent heart cannot throb
excitement is an unknown breath
move through life to create envy
statues cannot accept reality
