Self-flagellation

I used to ignore instruction manuals that scream “Do it Yourself”

Now I know I can’t just create homo habili, neanderthals; traditional, revisionist, post-revisionist (then what comes next?) humans myself.

But that’s not the point.

I’m sorry I lost my manual this time

I shouldn't have made a blind construction of untamed serpentine tongues,

disproportioned livers politicians’ genitals (it’ll never be hot, cute or attractive) and the fractured arch of a prima’s pointe.

They stand on the pedestal that I made with an instruction manual and judge in post ecliptic horror.

I know it’s my fault I lost it I wish the dog ate it But that’s

Not the point.
