the horror of the sacrifice
of the concept,

a child.

remember when we watched

the killing of a sacred deer?

well.

sometimes

abstrusities induce a rage in me simply because i can't

see the thing.

one might say


i lack emotional intelligence.

i should think more before i speak.

i'm just a simple man with simple tastes.
