“Many people feel threatened by exclusion[.]” Ben Lerner

to 
          work with poetry
less denotes 
an assumption 
          associated with this way from 
this and that and intuit 
social differences—manage this 
manage that do what 
is true for everyone or for no one or for everyone 
but I think really disappoint them
         their demand social poetry 
    gets you 
          internal expectation 
      could do to eradicate difference—
poems achieve 
      really disappoint 
main 
     demands
  don't say good poems 
   do 
what 
          is true 
      for everyone 
         or for no one but 
this is true for everyone or 
for 
everyone or for everyone or for everyone or 
  forget everyone or 
predict nothing 
in the second person

“Nature always give us happier laws than those we give ourselves.” Montaigne

 

who reread quickly
who piped in prickly
who kicked chameleon

who directed tumors
who stayed on schooners
who clammed ruddy rumors

who pianoed serious
who coughed unwell
who spelled delirious

who mixed minorities
who concerned authorities
who sinewed condolences

who fought fake
who rubied cake
who codgered snakes

what punched hilarity
what bold plurality
who victimized polarity

who spread squid ink
who showed the globe
whose byes dynasthai and dyes the bone
