Once were

[billy]

I think as it it is, only you will know the real intent and what the content mean . but the poem does give a feel of past experiences, a not so healthy feel. i would have liked a bit more understanding on my part and possibly a little more from the poem, no constructive feedback as such except to say i'm not sure if what i got was what you gave

I awoke with different stripes
finger-painted on my hide,
the sort that only show when your eyes are closed. i get the feeling this is a memory, a bad one, mainly because stripes are often associated with whippings which is a synonym for beating.

Shouts and flashes built my box for me this reinforces the thought that the 1st person is as she/he is because of conditioning, probably violent conditioning.
and I am independent of the floor i'm not sure what this means unless it means you've moved on
I once commanded,

a transportable label that others know
by osmosis rather than effort, as they
absorb the quiddity you stapled to the bill. again, the quiddity, the real price or hidden charge makes me think that someone got more than they bargained for

Fragments of me leave
in iMemories. Collected and centrifuged, i have no idea what imemories are.
they would yield nothing but sludge: im not sure if this is saying you've cut the bad bits away or can't get away from them.

omitto tacitus does this translate as 'don't touch'?
