another way to frighten yourself away from the commission of acts

of bad taste or abnormal behavior : place each hand inside a paper

lunch bag : arrange for a friend to tie the necks shut at the wrist

with your senses thus altered you are now incapable of trespass

the fall from grace is possible only for unchanged things & you no longer qualify : the invalidation of your credentials creates an appalling void within you : terrifying : immobilizing : you can no longer move erratically : congratulations : you have converted potential abnormality into the most respectable inaction ::
