Once upon a time there was a young boy
who liked to hurt himself. The doctors
saw his scars and threatened to lock him away
if he did it again. So he was careful, and as
he grew up they were very pleased.
Although he was quite smart, he got a low-paid job
in a small office in the town
where he was born. He got a mortgage and
let himself grow overweight. He fell
so deeply in love with many women
and dreamt of entire lifetimes with each one
before they left him. I'll never ever love you,
they always said. And he felt the cutting pain.
Thank you, he said.
