INTERVIEW WITH A SELF-DEPRECATING ADULT.


I’ve deprecated three times today
that’s about average
according to my Provider
self-loafing, she says, leads to dents in self-confidence
but to avoid that I should let off some self-steam
via flagellation? I ask
(picturing brisk pennant & maypole) (ahem)
but she’s twisting her head Noo noo noo
I don’t get wrangled
but sometimes I think of deprecating my Provider
you know like scrawling “Provide Err”
under the bridge w/ spraypaint or sharpie &
sitting in the hedgerow sober
while the tintype cloud-pack calculates rain
