It's not about art ... it's about power!

If you can't leave it alone when it crosses your putative desk or desktop ...
if you can't resist adjusting it ...
if you can't avoid the desire to change it ...
if you can't refrain from tuning it ...
if you can't check yourself from adapting it ...
if you can't inhibit yourself from fixing it ...
if you can't curb yourself from tweaking it ...
if you can't repress the urge to modify it ...
if you have a compulsion to amend or emend it ...
if you have an obsession to alter or improve it ...

then you may have ...

Therapeutic reciprocity is

a reprocessed editor,
or a rearranged publisher,
or a remodeled agent.
