A poem written 2-21-26.
Welcome, everyone, To the Scar Show, A weekly display of pain, And wonder Watch the Amazing Weeping Woman, Tear out her heart, And put it on display, For the jeering crowd Witness her as she twists herself, Into glorious knots, In an exhibitionist furor, Of bloody endurance Admission is free, folks, But there are hidden costs, Of staring into the dark, It does tend to hurt the eyes
