SELF-LOVE

Sometimes, a bug 
is a gimmick—
not a feature; 

sometimes, a facet
is really 
an erasure; 

sometimes I'm at peace 
with all 
the wrong things,

and angry 
with all of the things 
I've been wrong about. 

For example: for the letter 
of the law, I've been 
a pushover; 

for its spirit, 
on the other hand, bland-
ly apathetic.

And of course, 
it feels good 
to feel bad—

which feels good
which is, 
in turn, 

concerning—
so it's all just 
copacetic.
