Moldy Angst (the liar and the thief)

By Candy Cain

Words to worry with, branded as pets.

Envy. And ownership. Wrath, then regret.

I've traced them, laced them with lopsided logic.

tasted every edge, line, and corner with a lockpick.

your speeches spoil me sour, sweetly reek sincerity, assuredly.

a temper timbered september to embers, now she triples her security.

Retcon the rules, Retconned the reasons, Retcons are conman-placed.

Never you, though. I embrace your impact: the realest thing I never had two face.
