in the ideal
rather than the real
love
friendship
politics
sugar coating the possible
isn't like leaving reality to the cynics
more like refusing
to be willingly bored
into submission
choosing to escape the droning
of some hard facts
doesn't make one an accomplice
to oppression
it's more like leaving materialism
to the sophist philosophers
& their neat diagrams
choosing instead
to throw poems
like bombs
