Modernism:
Self-reflection.
Introversion.
"Reality" Television.
Mid-life Crises.
Subtle Meaning.
Symbolism.
Joyce, Nietzsche, Freud.
Pretentious Jerks?
Philosophers?
All-knowing and
Ready to stir
(the ***, that is)?
Self. Centered. Strife.

Views on persons,
Not our treatment.
Love and Sadness,
Not what's smashed.
Rage, anger, hate.
Oblivious
To the world
That surrounds.
