Acclimatization
Acclimatization is a serious matter.
Therefore I have almost absolved myself from
causing all that emotional mayhem
that a youthful spirit engages upon
not having yet acclimatized itself
to whom it was, or to what it would become.
Was it my fault that all those ‘soon to be’ lovers
bought a copy of me,
that was an unedited work in progress?
The maxim: “they know not what they do”
has to apply, or we would never arrive at that stage
of namely and to wit,
that stabilized imperfection most achieve.
Caveat emptor.
