I Know I Oughtn’t

The image shows a page from a book titled "Etiquette" with a colorful floral pattern as the background. The pattern features various stylized plants and flowers in shades of green, pink, and brown. Scattered throughout the image are small strips of text that appear to be part of a blackout poetry project, standing out against the vibrant botanical illustration.
