Looking forward imperfectly

I look forwards to my imperfections,

immensely, deliciously.

It is so liberating to admit to faults
without carrying the veneer and
delusion of perfection.

Admittedly, I can't stand a man
who picks his nose in public
then offers to shake your hand.

I admire the cranky bastard
who wakes up, breaks wind
and then floods the bathroom.

It is such a release
from the false pretentions
that society forces upon us.

Face it, we're a bloody bad design
mucked up and mocked up
and with luck
and without bits falling off
we'll be imperfect together

"Face it, we're a bloody bad design"

To an anthropologist like me, this is one great line (in a very cool write).
We have got this ridiculously large brain perched atop a vertical, bipedal system guaranteed to produce endless problems in backs, knees, hips, feet, not to mention hell in giving birth... :-,?
