Cautionary Talon

I live to contradict actuarial detail. 

Go figure. Fractals pack a punch.

Qualitative self-similarity for one.

Here I am, and you can kiss

my granularity despite your lack 

of tithing to promote or premise

what you call good works. I prefer

good looks and so voila! 

Bearing walls as a rule 

prompt an urge to check the attic.

How long do you think versus

feel you will live

to tell chapter and verse averse 

to chiming various cauterized 

inklings made to order 

by a slightly heat-resistant brain.
