My Commitment to Civilization
Lately, I have begun to question
my commitment to civilization.
They have taught me
mutually-preferred destruction.
The auto-opposition position.
Let there be darkness to distinguish the light.
Why is the explicit illicit? And what do we
make out of our quarrel with quarreling?
Someone installed the valve that you cannot adjust.
A imagines B imagining A.
Counterfeit involvement with a patterned misalignment.
Which came first, the chicken or the idea of the chicken?
The trap was that you should fake the trick.
