the wingers

the wingers

A Poem by delapruch
"

if you go as far as you can in one direction you might just become exactly what you’re running from.

"

one points the finger at the other

telling it that it knows all about what

s/he stands for & on this side

the winger states all the aspects of her/his

parameters & the details, suggestions &

manufactured ways of understanding all

add up to a perfect little box

which only changes when the greater group

says so.

 

marching in line behind the rest

one winger stares across the way at its

opposite &

with all its ideas & views stuffed in its head it

assumes a

crystal clear focus

having rehearsed all its slogans

having agreed upon all its poses

having put on its lip balm to start

kissing a*s all across the board

smiling for the pictures

hugging the babies &

when asked question after question

the winger responds appropriately

with no real thought of her/his own

stating all the things about what they read or what they were told to

say when confronted by

the

machine.

 

churning, spinning, churning &

make-believing to themselves that there is something

so different about them from those other humans who

don’t believe what it is that they do

or at least pretend to believe---

the wingers define themselves by the

convictions corresponding to the rungs of whatever ladder they are

attempting to

climb &

they are all

just a few blowjobs away from

becoming

immaculate

idiots.
