When a man says knife
is no form of seduction
he means he’s never been
split. But doesn’t everyone
have a seam? Unravel
to dark sugar?
//
He tore a hole where there was
no hole, a dagger flat
against my tongue. Was it
violence? Yes. Also
I found a name then, became
stranger to everyone but me.
When a hole is open, anyone can use it.
I can cleave, push inside.
//
Once, I only ate what wouldn’t
nourish. I had one mouth. Grew
thin as a wire. Boy,
in the beginning, a blade
severed the line, made you
a body & isn’t that
when you learned hunger?

Cameron Awkward-Rich’s “Essay on What Is & Isn’t” is a powerful exploration of identity, perception, and the complexity of being human. The poem delves into what defines us and what doesn’t, challenging societal boundaries and internal struggles.
