Brands

Take my biggest problem,
Wear it on my shoulder.
Brand me like a scarlet letter,
A for Autistic,
B for Bipolar.

Letters are so optional.
And which one am I really?
What do I name my labels say?
If you invert me,
Are there washing instructions,
Stamped on my soles?

We are the brands we wear,
Whether it’s Versace or OshKosh,
Or gender or diagnosis.
We are all marked by life.
We are all both a product,
And a rampant consumer.

So you - Yes you,
What’s your brand?
