Open
your catalog.
See anything you like?
Virtues? Characters? Emotions?
Love? So many sub-categories
to love… Do you see
the fluctuating lists
of temptations? Specify your needs,
your wants, your passions, your lusts,
and don’t forget your insecurities.
Cite your reasons for development,
identify future actions, mention
trivialities, like kindness to animals,
caring for humanity, bravery in the face of spiders.
Did you forget to mature your patience,
tolerance and growth?
Quantify, and transform.
Cite your name, location
and destination in life.
We calculate the risks, itemize
the possibilities, compute the cost.
The total is your soul.
Thank you, your order
has been processed.
Your catalog,
closed.
