> The unflinching backdrop
> Of such tumult--
> How ungrateful and heartless must feel
> Each pass of hand across
> Your harp-stringed face,
> When all you've known is percussion?
> And you were not eased gently into this role
> were you?
> Lesson one took you from seasons and sparrows
> To chainsaws and awls--
> How traumatizing--talk about
> Baptism by fire!
> Which brings me to your backside there,
> Which unlike my own, is slightly warped in--
> Ouch!
> That's a much deeper burn than I thought--
> I can't even imagine how that would happen
> In the first place--
> Is it not standard protocol to chop first,
> Boil second?
> Regardless, I'm sure this whole business is less than settling
> For you--I just hope it was an accident.
> In any event, know my gratitude for the daily horrors you
> Face will never be truncated.
> Know also that although punished, you have done no
> Wrong, but like so many others,
> The Universe has selected you at random for
> Arbitrary disfigurement
> And suffering.
> My friend, you will know spells of darkness,
> But like the pockmarked moon
> And the swallowed Mexican Gulf--
> Knock on wood--
> You too will have your moment in the sun.
