day eleven

Protest in Numbers: by Adam Haylock-Lott, Kent

21 is my daughter

19 is my son

14 is my nephew

7 months is my baby

47 is my husband

I am 38.

The greatest protest?

Live life 

how you 

were not supposed to.

Defy

Couldn’t be.

Write

New blueprint.

Destroy

The dad box.

Marry

A man.

Have

Babies!

Build 

Family!

18.

Me.

zeros.

forever.

Life.

No.

numbers.

Living daily my protest quest for life

= a love multiplied 

Me

Became

Us

And us

Became a picture

Worth….

….a thousand words.
