Redundant Repartee


My diaspora wasn’t caused by me, not that you’d 
agree it was simple ratification of areas bared and
cleft in their own artifice, the ones where meaning 
of words took a taint of unsavoury sense, or lilt of 
concupiscence in free-range, sleazy phraseology 

The “ah - me” wasn’t an illicit intent to face court, 
or arbitrate on spelling, but my moving away was 
contemplatively long-deliberated; I’m needing th' 
sanctuary of a clean and wholesome respite - as 
far from wry repartee breaches, erudite skeptics, 

the whole panoply of its wizened creed, & where 
I can be me without artifice or pretence rendered 
in vogue terminology too blasé for precedence; I 
feel better already, sensing those vistas, cleaned 
o’ outrageous duality returning nicely naive t’ me 

So here I am, resplendently redressed in th’ way 
I obeyed the ideology we’re Masters of our Own 
Fate; or is it we’ve become the epitome of who’s 
views define The News which is terms of whose 
Gala, Jubilee, Pageant &/or Fete we’ll cogitate
