A witty little 14-liner I sent out during my first session of August PoPo, influenced by the language poets in week #8 of ModPo.
High culture and low,
polished and profaned,
sanctified and ghettoized –
all the decisions we make
stem from false dichotomies
presented to us – opposing options
in a narrative, neither of which
makes us better or worse for the wear —
just older and grayer,
more wrinkled and cataract’d
until our vision is blocked,
and our tastebuds deadened
by the novocaine they give us –
for good behavior.
