peccadilloes (2-17-14)

that natural tendency to   s  t  r  e  t  c  h  the truth to
fit the situation at hand
instead of stickingstrictlyto
the truth

the uncanny ability to shirk all
real responsibilities in favor of other things
and rationalizing it away perfectly.

the unparalleled talent of seeing
all the worst angles
and most negative perspectives of
any situation or person or thing

the bent towards drama
and dissatisfaction
and antagonism just to see how far
I can go and how much
I can get away with

you have seen me in my selfish glory
lying in the shallows of my own foibles

and here you are still.
