Embedded and Wearable: “Concrete” by Anna Rosati (2014)
“Concrete” is a performance art piece, which I shared at The Button in Lawrenceville on 9/23/14.

I am doing a study on concrete
Examining parallel lines
Distinguishing identical slabs
My eye so close
That dirt
Makes me blink
Measuring
Re-measuring cracks
Trying to define
The divide
Women are doing a study on concrete
Because with bent necks
That’s where we’re taught to look
Examining cracks
Blinking out dirt
Trying to define
Something someone else made
Why must I study concrete
And brick walls
And my own reflection out bus windows
When I would rather study the world
