II. A COLLECTION OF OBSCURITY by Edwin M. Drogin

45. Untitled

Trapped!
The rationale was used by too many others.
	The precious thought, pinned to a lower class
		Dragged by wet bootstraps across the interviewers notes.
You thought that way! Tables 77 and 78, stabbed in the back.
Your code is codified and theirs is neither better nor worse.
	Just a code. How mediocre!
How could you rip that precious veil...? Your interviewer
believed once...destroys me for his beliefs.
	Charts 83 and 84, need you have said more?
Be damned!  Our missionaries...
The closed circle writes right, and wrong for me alone.
	Controlled sample.
Did our Gods also oppose the natural?

	The crowning insult
	Sexless women.
		Go ahead. Rape me.
			The price we paid for the cars and furs,
			The season's opera ticket,
			The perfumed cell, walling vulgar out.
Trapped! Pinned to the wall-writhing.
Resigned at last.
	Honor thy father and thy mother...especially thy mother.
Statistics show....
