Milieu Of Similarity

This isn’t an easy explanation, when we’re measured 

alongside entrée-genres as Milieu of Similarity, we’re 

rendered speechless - & with no resemblance to any 

modicum of the vogue we’d instantly recognise; altho 

somebody not beyond th’ pale probably knows this & 

preferring to remain silently anonymous says nothing 

to usually erudite peers in a gobsmacked company -

while tactfully sidling sideways into a neutral zone 

Hey, that means nothing doesn’t it, favours a group’s 

unspoken agreement & concession we don’t play by 

those rules even if ‘they are our rules’ and we’ve yet 

t’ recognise ‘em as being our milieus peculiar way of 

wooing change; so if th’ only way you can agree’s to 

remain silent, then you can see its pugnacious irony
