I had a chainsaw. Meticulously took it apart, and laid out all the bits and pieces in a perfect circle around me like a mandala, a glowing work of art. Took that circle with me everywhere I went, like Captain America’s shield, or Tenser’s Floating Disk, or Rosalina’s Luma. Used it as a conversation piece. Hoped the veiled fervor in my eyes wouldn’t drive you away every time I said Please, can you be my friend? Can you be my friend and help me put this back together?
