There is safety in apart-ment living; would corral the little ones, declare responsibility, obligations as a mask for this self-banishing compulsion...
except that I am lying prone, exposed - brains spilling onto concrete - shadows revealing the darkness of my condition, hopelessly locked in physical inertia.
I am an unwitting contributor to scientific (and pseudo) probing: audacious autopsies pronouncing conclusive evidence of motives.
Too polite (and weakened) to deflect, I submit, demonstrating complacency, sacrificing autonomy; fail to assert that it is I who is taking this life test.
And, by the way, am passing quite adequately, which defies all rational diagnosis and prognosis, and serves to reassure me of ultimate success.
