Bastille Day Sonnet Sequence Badgers, brutes and behemoths are banging As usual at my front door. You might Make a barrel of suggestions but I Think Ive heard them all before..Im really Sorry here.: I was raised to be polite. But this curiousity, passion and Hostility- well , diverse attentions You yourselves might not always wish To have is keeping me up day and night. I dont mean to be unfriendly and I Dont mean to complain but this bold barrage Of visitors is often somewhat Of a fright, despite all so called intentions And protocols: im just an ordinary guy. I dont really want to call in doctors. I dont really want to call in police. I dont really want to summon bureaucrats Like you I often need a bit of peace. Gentle peace, relaxed, you know,no Tough Love No Roman orgy of bodies and substances Or terrified appealing to some Deity above Who may or may not ever intervene. I dont really want to debate psychology I dont really want to debate theology i dont really want to debate philosophy Im not interested right now in history or other stuff The World can be quite mean: if it was mean To you then to me it was also often very mean. I dont really mean to call in the soldiers I dont really mean to call in the Mafias. I dont really want to summon some scientists I dont really want to make computer lists I dont really want to spark a revolution I have a lot of mixed feelings about What a lot of authorities call Evolution. Mostly i am not pondering Great Victories Or obsessing over some Great Defeat Though just like you I am horribly unfond of them. Mostly I like to be lazy, get something good to eat Talk with friends, play some games Im good at Maybe sometimes dare some games at which Im mediocre, suck or where winning is just luck. I dont really mean to call in the lawyers I dont really mean to make things unclean Or to magically make everything ten times more clean The indisputable social reputations Which precede me are just like your own Nine tenths propaganda in the least. Like you I am far lazier than truly crazy.. If our Queen or King is acting awful to the People I am sorry. Im too sick to do Enforcer Jobs now But maybe theres some way for everybody To be just human too? Theres always need For some Authority and is that anything new? The protected bullies and cowards of more Secular States Are always (what a headache!) merely human too! Noticed just now it was Bastille Day. Happy Bastille Day to all the Francophiles. My longterm home health aide had no notion What Bastille Day was.:I had to explain It was sort of like our Independence Day but different. I think she understood. I hope she did. Isnt the Daily News and History often a Major Pain? Im very tired, now not equipped for the stresses . Of so called losing, losing, so called winning or winning. Are you? Seems to me all our human nations Are desperate for much merited vacations From the endless Mess we tend to call Reality. Dont want to volunteer, jump into age old frays; Who ever really wants to be a killer or a casualty? : LikeLike · · Promote · Share
