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
