ALT a poem in the form of a likert scale. the left column is lineated text, while the right column displays a scale from 1 to 5 corresponding to each line of text, 1 being "strongly disagree" and 5 being "strongly agree." the scale is unmarked. the text on the left column reads I can be sewn shut I can be photographed I can stand I can tell time I can weep I trust my hands I do not lock at the sight of blood Altitude is relative Like memory Altitude, meaning your head, open Like a grapevine Like a search party Like this I am looking for something I know what it is not I will know when I am warm I can be trusted in a kitchen I can speak to children In 5 years, I will be When I dream of the end of the world It is not beautiful but You are there Holding your heart Red and liquid like a sword
