12,133. HANDCUFFS

HANDCUFFS
Wouldn't that have been the
case; if you'd never opened
that purloined letter we'd have
never learned how to make 
things better. Like rats in the
sewer, running down the hole.
-
I figured that phrase would go to
waste, holding forth atomically
like that with no one watching. I
never knew about self-inflicted
wounds  -  are they better, or 
are they worse? I always figured,
nonetheless, they're the same, no
matter how you get them.
-
Soon. Or sooner than later anyway,
none of the really matters. We are
handcuffed to this stagecoach
that takes us downhill.
