Aspire to Reveal by Example ~ Sunday, May 24, 2026
For Johann Gonzalez
You will want to agree to disagree
only, I will take the high road and leave
understanding principled behavior
will get you nowhere in business, you see
if you choose to follow and to listen
leave me well alone, then, I want to grieve
life surrounded by others, nothing more
want to make a bet, the genius in art
answers to the senseless, blissful in zen
nothing but nothingness to understand
transmit on the wireless telegraph
tormented by my brother, blur the hand
observe the past, like a film, have a laugh
agree to disagree, lies, you old fart
given life is nasty, brutish and short
remember, defense mechanisms guide
each person in the world, in their choices
enter humanity, best to abort
to imagine everywhere poverty
observe billionaires without any pride
distant intergalactic stars, voices
invented by science for industry
science explains what my auntie Gertie
aspired to reveal by example
given the mystery in platitudes
realize they tell lies, surplus ample
each to their own, given our attitudes
empty of all meaning but bigotry
