Jouissance and I!

Apology of the MacGyver of Gaslighting
 
I
I am sorry that I got you . . .
addicted to Heroin ;
But your susceptibility —
is not my responsibility . . .
 
II
I am sorry that I got you . . .
addicted to Xanax ;
But your malleability —
is not my accountability . . .
 
III
I am sorry that I got you . . .
addicted to Adderall ;
But your fragility —
is not my liability . . .
 
IV
I am sorry that I got you . . .
addicted to Crack Cocaine ;
But your deceptability —
is not my inflammability . . .
V
I am sorry that I got you . . .
addicted to Klonopin ; 
But your controllability — 
is not my pleasurability . . .
 
VI
I am sorry that I got you . . .
addicted to Crystal Meth ; 
But your replaceability —
is not my imponderability . . .
