UNFAIR

What sort of creature 
is the opposite 
of habit? 

Behavior as 
digression,

as estrangement 
with the past; 

reason 
as nostalgia,

and motive, 
a best-
dressed contest. 

Before I learned 
of devils, 
I might have been convinced 

that my actions 
were equal 

parts frivolous 
and blessed.
