The God must have practised for thousands humans
before finally creating you.
He must have visited Bargello
before carving your body;
Must have killed many ravens
to look at their wings
before giving you your hair color;
Must have dismantled many Swiss watches
before presenting you with your mind;
Must have interviewed many angels
before making you so righteous and kind;
Must have fought many wars
to give you your bravery;
Must have bribed all the muses
to make you their favorite.
I could go on forever,
but what a disaster!
This was actually an exercise
to try and recall your drawbacks,
so that I could forget you faster.
