I Know What I Said

chronic pain lasting years

"Everything can't always be her fault"

anatomy unremarkable for any acute pathology

And why the hell not?

Why shouldn't it be?

I know what I said

but I didn't know what I was saying

dizziness, presyncope

I meant to say

that she ain't shit

that she will become less and less

until she is nothing

and then I will reduce nothingness

to fractions of fractious factions

squarely rooted war-waging integers

I'm running the numbers and no,

everything can't always be her fault.

chronic aching and popping

But this?

This will always be her fault.
