Lyrics

Fax ring holds like a thin spine
Pages breathe rules line by line

Stamped boxes sing, low and plain
Clerks nod slow, hide their strain
Chiefs bless late with sugar sway
Shame sits close, won’t go away

I read each square like a verse
My name small, pressed in reverse
Do kindness count if no one sees?
I pass cups, share smokes in the breeze

I’m not a page to be filed and stored
I’m not a pen that only moves when prodded
If I have to choose between their nods
Or my own nod, I’ll choose the quiet one

I keep a box for me alone
Not theirs to stamp, not their throne
When I’m bare, I still belong
I hum my yes, steady and strong

To self: If they ask why I won’t stay late again, say this—
I gave my due, I gave my name, but I won’t lease my spine.
I’ll help, I’ll carry, I’ll clean, I’ll care.
But approval starts at home. Approve yourself, Kida.
Stamp your name on the night; be approved by the chime.

Breath in pink slips of pride
Breath out the old ride
