Question Marks

Dear Mr. D,

While our time together
has been quite productive,
I believe as you go on
to live your life and leave
the past simmering
on your stove until it spills to button eyed flames
and takes the house
that hate built
to its fractured slab
in a heap of spent tongues and embers
and unrepentant hugs
you should make an effort to see
your scars as less
than cellular artifacting
errors generated by interface violations
perpetrated with incompatible objects
and see them as more
like question marks
printed to skin and tissue
and your future outcomes
as answers.
Good luck to you.

Dr. B.
