Have you no contradictions? You have no possibilities. Vladimir Holan

I want my world

Neatly packaged

No Postmodernist confusion

Just a generously elitist academia-

Keeping high horses above the showjumpers

But linear narratives for all-

Happily ever afters and all that.

Clarity to inform warring perspectives

But most of all

I want my world to have perforated edges

So that

I can hold on tightly with one hand

And rip with the other

And fold away ambivalence

In a tight little square

For your perusal,

Madam,

On some other day.
