Rehabilitation Through Amputation
Zack Fogle, Josh Portales, Rylie Hanson
My own reflection sickens me
Somehow it feels too complete
I could do without my limbs
Dysmorphia has settled in
Fashioning a tourniquet
Wrapping it around my leg
Drink a bottle of vodka
Then turn on my electric saw
Saw blade is now shredding into my thigh
Tissue and bone fragments begin to fly
Biting a towel as I finish the slice
Next, I will amputate the other side
Performing my own - amputation
I'm self-diagnosed - apotemnophilia
At last, I’m down to only one hand
Self-amputation, I no longer can
This is the last step I did not have planned
I guess it will have to be done secondhand
