I made myself hungry, too, Neo.

food from thought,
some people are unnecessarily on thought diets,
wishing you many more horns of plenty

Is it too late to change my answer to no 15?

15. What's your least favorite thing about yourself?
"my savage blood's obscenity"

Epidermal Macabre

Indelicate is he who loathes
The aspect of his fleshy clothes, --
The flying fabric stitched on bone,
The vesture of the skeleton,
The garment neither fur nor hair,
The cloak of evil and despair,
The veil long violated by
Caresses of the hand and eye.
Yet such is my unseemliness:
I hate my epidermal dress,
The savage blood's obscenity,
The rags of my anatomy,
And willingly would I dispense
With false accouterments of sense,
To sleep immodestly, a most
Incarnadine and carnal ghost.
