DISLIKE

It's a thrill we feel 
deep in our bones, this 
self-loathing.

For once, we are
at one. For once, 
we are part of something—

we are part of 
the problem; 
we are wolves

in wolves' clothing, 
and we hunt our own
revulsion—not 

with a fury, 
or even 
as a joke, but 

because we're so 
engrossed by vulnerability 
exposed 

that we long to catch 
up with our goldbricking
souls

and hold them so close
that they choke.
