a period of mandated unrest
exceptional excerpts
of the proper improprieties
embattled, embalmed
monolyrical microaffections
automatic automation
of lexicoclastic ritual
a Möbius strip of epistemology
Wittgenstein's Monster
feeding on Lucretius's throat
cosmogrammatical
an evasion of revision—
but is it worth fighting
for what is worth fighting for?
