to mend


if you’re gonna be a tool,
then you’d ought to be useful.
don’t screw me in an
overwhelming manner
while undermining the gems
stemming deep in the ground
pending discovery / trending recovery
from self-injury and cheap shots;
an itemized personal history.
downward spiral / upward trend

- [nel.ito]
