To Edit

Most difficult
is to edit
one's own writing;
Like we could change a life
in a single sitting...though it 
has been done
I am told...by those
far more prolific than I,
and, maybe, less critical
(to my knowledge, Satan 
has yet to apologize): 

were all our flaws
simply commas
and run-ons--
and not attitudes, and
their principalities!
