I took the ink blot test
and responded to each blot
with the first thing to come to mind

for the first blot,
I answered:
a headless angel of death.
this was a bad answer.

for the second blot,
I said:
high five with legs chopped off.
this was a bad answer.

for the third blot,
I wrote:
the face of gluttony
this was a bad answer

for the fourth blot
I shakily stated:
I see a mountain of agony
and at the bottom
are two pilgrims
of hope
and ability
carrying the burden of man between them.
this was the first thing to pop into my head.
and it was a bad answer.

it was supposed to show what I think of my father.
I certainly had a lot to say.
but nobody I asked really knew how to interpret that.
so for now,
I am just crazy.
5th blot: bat
6th blot: guitar made out of an emaciated cat
7th blot: clouds
8th blot: the demons of hate and suffering spit roasting the heavens over the fires of hell
9th blot: the family portrait of the proud Frog family
10th blot: paint bombing in paris

just in case you were wondering.
