can I just start again?

can I open this vessel

and pour it out on the earth?

the transgression reeks

like a chamber pot

can I tear out these eyes

and install cameras instead?

a gaze cold and impartial

looking only where it should

can I replace these ears

with microphones?

will they listen truer

than I ever have?

can I rip off all my fleshly limbs

and replace them with metal ones?

slower and less deft

slower to badness and terrible at sin

can I just be someone else?

can I just start again?

can I?

please?
