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.
