“The word “repurpose”
means to take an object
and give it amnesia.

It means to make something forget what
it’s been trained to do so you can
use it for a better reason.

I am learning that this body is not a shotgun.
I am learning that this body is not a pistol.
I am learning that a man is not defined by what he can destroy.

I am learning that a person
who only knows how to fight
can only communicate in violence
and that shouldn’t be anyone’s first language.

I am learning that the difference between
a garden and a graveyard is only what
you choose to put in the ground.”
