For a few days now, I've been composing a perfect tale.

I ponder, I wonder, I inquire, I reply, I clarify.

I cross-out, I obliterate, I redress, I add, I remove.

I cuss, I contradict, I modify, I snarl.

I soften, I compare, I personify, I shuffle.

I enumerate, I debate, I pigeonhole.

I exasperate. I exclude, I conclude.

A perfect tale?

Maddening.
