I looked at you
With my xenon bulbed flexible long eye
Spinning your parts past my view
First the top half
Then the bottom
Looking for all your flaws
Any erosion of your character
Cracks in your persona
Distortion of your world view
But I found none
Despite my best efforts
And I gave you a pass
Sending you along for a try out
Where you came apart
Spreading your parts in a fiery display
Frightening onlookers
A living nightmare in day
Now once again you lay before me
But this time in an autopsy situation
Where I get to try to find the flaw I missed
The little thing I should have caught
To prevent your self conflagration
With my xenon bulbed flexible long eye
Spinning your parts past my view
First the top half
Then the bottom
Looking for all your flaws
Any erosion of your character
Cracks in your persona
Distortion of your world view
But I found none
Despite my best efforts
And I gave you a pass
Sending you along for a try out
Where you came apart
Spreading your parts in a fiery display
Frightening onlookers
A living nightmare in day
Now once again you lay before me
But this time in an autopsy situation
Where I get to try to find the flaw I missed
The little thing I should have caught
To prevent your self conflagration
