Diy Surgery

rotten molars unnerved her moribund hunger for living on she extracted the pain with blunt scalpels pliers and hammer damaged her smile as well but with the cornerstones removed in the aftermath of destruction nothing was left but a stammer loops of denial and self-incrimination established more pain she tore her heart out under the shelter of drugs and booze abuse self-incrimination and injustice festered in her mind emoted a cardiac bypass for feelings leaving nothing to lose a spiritual minefield exploded and she gathered rapid speed performed a lobotomy with a manual and surgical precision hysterical psychedelia and amphetamines furthered the cause reached complete numbness from the screwdriver’s incision only after all operations uppers downers and morphine failed she realized that life was to seize no matter how it panned out checked into rehab and abandoned jigsaw super glue and fear took up painting and poetry and excised her vile needless doubt 25th September 2020
