Beloved,

I should like to appear in court and present my body on a sacrificial altar for the following offenses:

Exhaustion

Loneliness

Willful ignorance

And proceed with disemboweling it to offer up whichever major organ might fetch the price owed for our collective debt, of which I agreed to be accountable, as the sum of my life’s work amounts to less than nothing.

You’ll be relieved to know none of this requires your participation.

On your behalf,

My flesh and blood

Johnny Cash approves. Happy Friday. xo
