god, I love the fact
that at some point,
both youth and slang
die a sudden death,
an odd death,
        and everyone
reaches a plateau
of formal conversation,
leaving given names
and other forms of
informality in the shadow...
  ******* "gender neutrality"
of pronouns...
while in the Slavic lands
old people still talk of
neutrality of forms...
           id est: you,
rather than Marcus...
                I can unerstand
a blurred "neutrality"
of formality,
   and informality...
     but this? this, "thing"?
    early 30s, can't exactly call me
outdated...
maybe schlang, grafitti and
adolescence are synonyms...
      this, toying with grammatical
categories , you sure it won't
bit them back,
when they hear that French nouns
are gender identifiable and segregational?
oh sure, even in Slavic
a moon is a he while
a sun is she...
        th3 dead communists are laughing:
had i been a spy...
i really can't do anything other than
a Pontius Pilate gesture...

in French nouns are gender inclusive,
which makes the argument
for pronoun gender neutrality
a bit idiotic,
given that, what's being incorporated
is a neutrality of one contra many...
arithmetic neutrality...
the gender "thing" is already
exhausted as base for argument...
luckily enough Western journalism
either is, an echo chamber,
or it, doesn't understand
    that: it's really cold in Siberia
    and that it really doesn't matter...

please tell me I'm looking at a Salvador
Dali painting...
   listen, I'm not that smart in terms
of the employment criterium,
a 3rd class degree from Edinburgh...
      but... ******* around with grammar
like that?
     not bothering to investigate
the inherent gender of nouns,
notably in the neighbouring french?

          I do hope it's just a youth
and slang "thing"...
                given the closure of asylums
and...
               what remains of
society, and the isolationism
governing a, if any, form of inconvenient,
"complimentary" narrative:
hence the paranoid parallel.
