Scalpel

Hate you?Well, not actively, except for this;And hatred, rather like fungus on a stout healthy sausage,or a bloated tumor, or a mind’s dusty floor,must be scraped away –Hence this scalpel.

And you, sausage-eater-You hurl your hatred onward towards its object;Its object because it objected to being your predicate –I not being an attribute of you.

I must affirm what you deny –My existence apart from yoursO great man-eater
