Lacrimal Duct Aplasia

face

So, I was born without tear-ducts.  What does that mean?  It means I forever shed a tear.  And it means there is hardly any info on it out there.  Funny, our medical system.  It means I’ve been asked my whole life… ‘Why are you crying?’  Especially if I come in from the outdoors.

Oh, the answers I can come up with!!  ”My pimp hit me.”  ”This movie, did you see it?  The Hulk.  So moving.”  ”I just feel a lot.”

It’s all good though, it is what it is, and makes me all the different.  And I always have an excuse to leave a party… “I’m sorry, but that cheese dip… I have to go.”

About Benjamin Allen Ellis

Some phoenix mythologies talk of the soul's hierarchy in terms of birds. The eagle being our pinnacle, the phoenix right below, constantly burning and dying and rebirthing in order to find itself born eagle. Since 2000, and my first public art show, I've used the Phoenix as a rallying cry for myself to take hold of what I want and keep 'rebirthing' until I get it. After eight years, it was time to consciously move on up. Hey - I'm goin' eagle.
