I don’t fault you
 
not everyone
has the
wit
to recognize
a rarity
but that
is
not the
topic
I’d
like to
disturb.
 
As I am
I am
exactly
in place
 
delighted
with the
glimpse
I’ve had
of my
own
design.
 
And even
a sequence
of unfortunate
events
pricking at me
with the
perversions
of
pain
 
feels
delicious.
 
In the vein of
examining
a needle
enter the flesh
of my arm
I am
aroused.
Imprinted
with
the sagacity
 
to embrace
rather than
merely
endure
turbulence.
