Attachment

 

You should have been able

to open that attachment

 

but since you couldn't

I suggest you detach yourself

as I have

from all reality

 

or attach yourself to

someone unattached

you don't want to fool around

with someone already attached

 

I will attach another attachment

if you can't open this one

you have a problem

 

you will never know

what you missed

and will spend the rest of your life

wondering and worrying about

 

why the attachment

was not attached.
