False lame

When your life consists in relearning

to walk, talk, eat, shit, fuck
breathe and fall

on average

every seven years, You

could be forgiven
for weakness and lapse,
attributed to old age, really
just inattention to detail, imbalance
uncorrected, resignation to
inferior coping thriving
defense modes, "Not
my fault!" "Best I

could ever do!"

, but it won't matter
if you are forgiven.
You'll still catch blame at every
step.

Really just.

Fair. Right. For if
you can't own your
faults, you have no claim

on your virtues, or oh okay
go claim away. You win
not much.
