If indeed i have some moralistic shortcomings
like to shed them with my second skin
conscience has been in the way for some
so only an obstructed view of my vitality remains intact
please step away from regret
and into the nearest turnstile form which
to vote your body’s reckoning rather than cruel mind spit
I am not malleable
i cannot be rendered as steel
filtered for purity as bottled water
