Errors in the Signals

Normal?
Run-of-the-mill?
Compos fucking mentis
Wholesome to a fault
Flawless?
Picture-perfect?
Lose the quirk
— Escape a life-sentence
From disfigurement be spared
Errors in the signals
(Off gender)
Errors in the signals
(Down-and-outer)
Beside yourself
By the very shadow you cast
Clawing at the vapid pseudo-love
Called 'respect'
Errors in the signals
(No aberrations)
Errors in the signals
(Moral fail-safes)
Couldn’t flee much quicker
From the adolescent (in you)
Clawing at the vapid pseudo-love
Called 'respect'
Errors in the signals
