us (them)

I cannot…   I will not…

 swallow this pharmaceutical, this pill, this wafer, this narrative, this medically sanctioned commercial, this offal, this blueprint, this code of ethics, this watered-down translation, this paraphrase, this narrow interpretation, this open interpretation, this collective conceptualization, this well-intentioned bullshit, this socioeconomic boiled down, chemically altered nonsense, the ever changing and twisting litigation…

All would be utterly useless  and unoriginal

If we did

buy into the achilles heel of our kind, those who effort to create and cement rules, surrounding us and our collective works, the gatekeepers, those who mean well, the guardians of accreditation, those who think they can hold high moral and ethical standards for an entire population, a misjudgment in thinking, a bias towards paper, a predeliction for details, a proclivity toward paper trails , a predisposition toward safety, bounded by fear.

they would swallow us whole

if they could
