Problematic
by
As we pose externally
We leave perplexed
The philanthropist ensemble.
Perhaps an unidentified
androgynous being
would resonate most loudly—
enough to curb the theoretical appetite
for a time?
Travelling along the municipal track
there are sidelines—
the Other road.
A road less travelled perhaps?
Subversion is senseless
if merely creating a diversion
from the dualistic nature of the main.
Change instead?
But change itself is a signifier of the main.
What then?
Eliminate the main,
The municipal track,
The Other road,
The words, the language,
The signs, the signifiers,
The systems?
But how to do this?
The roots of the arbitrary tree appear
to be tough and resistant to upheaval.
It seems we are caught forever in a conglomerate
of models and tropes
Elusive to most, misunderstood by all.
