*has thought bubble* My history is not written on my body in any obvious way--all my disabilities are invisible ones except for the TMJ splint in my mouth that has prompted a cashier to tell me that "my retainer is falling out." Nasty shock, that.
Anyway, I have very little history that I can see on my body, and all of it is incidental and doesn't reflect the important things--which is probably why I have such a strong need to punch a hole in my ear for every important thing that happens to me. To shape my body to say "Yes, this did happen, it's real, feel it, it's written here."
Also, this post (like all your posts!) and poem are badass and full of food for thought (pun!), and I'm enjoying the discussion, too.
