My position is that of an ounce
in the metric system. I used
to be so much more.
An imperial ounce, but
no one knew what that means.
Sick of explaining
the difference, I gave up.
In resignation, I became
an ounce.
But
something had changed
while I had changed.
I was surrounded now
by centimeters and
decimeters, building up
to meters, stretching
for kilometers
They didn't seem to mean
anything about heaviness at all
which was all I knew
how to weigh. So I gave up.
In resignation. And became
an imperial ounce.
