Poet Introduction
I spit liquid crack
Statue
She pulls her hair back into a tight ponytail
She takes a long look at the picture
With hammer and chisel in hand
She begins the journey of trying to create the statue of a perfect man
Minutes turn into hours and hours turn into days
But his face is not yet perfect so she just continues to chip away
