attempts to attack its offender, the self.
The poor creature has not learned,
as we have, that is can never escape
its own body. The move to warmer climate
did not matter, the devoted promising
fell short of true change, and the figure
staring back in the mirror is an assemblage
of the same fears and half-truths.
The result of not wrapping my arms around
that poor insecure being, is dizziness,
perhaps a sudden fall due to the exhaustion
of the mindless, absurd chase.
