Thoughts On No Wedding

Policar, 2003.

Gender inversions by technical virgins,
Ad-hoc redefinitions, chaotic conversions,
Historic allusions, elusive perversions,
Instinctive evasion -- tradition's aversions.
(Discordant, discursive, substantive, subversive.)

Genetic polemic -- the rhetoric's chemical,
Eugenic, systemic, endemic, hysterical.
Divinities mystic, doctrines antithetical,
Most atavistic, the others heretical.
(Saints sanely fantasize, faint-heart priests sanitize.)

Constitution-heuristic decisions political,
Ethics synthetic, morals analytical,
Process erratic, emphatic, veridical,
Some hypothetical, some hypocritical.
(Constituents cavil when cabals unravel.)

Altogether too clever, feverish and frantic,
Over-opportunistic, eristic, pedantic.
(I select vexing lexical text as my venue
when you strike simple words like "I do" from my menu.)
