Paradoxical Tendencies

‘I am…’ 'Or am I’? Who can say?

‘A posteriori’ leads the way

For the extra and the ordinary

Axiomatic sway,

In the gravity of corollary,

‘A priori’ interplay

Ataraxic overlay of anxious automation,

As the innocence of dissonance delay.

Practicing semantic contemplation,

In willfully prevenient interpolation,

Civilly disobedient in expediently seeming disarray,

Forecasts in vague extrapolation

Contrasts the millennial contagion

Already underway,

Filling nihilistic voids with particles in waves,

To interpret dreams of Freud to free Oedipus’s slaves,

A degreeless scholastic who never misbehaves,

Simulated humanoid dramatic in the affect that he craves,

Inflating linguistics in acrobatic raves,

A thespian who plans conation with legacy engraves.

The probabilistic determiner of cosmogenous debates,

An apperceived inquirer of qualitative states,

Inspiring proprietor of dismality abates.

Challenging aporia as epistemic oscillates,

Stoically, heroically, ‘one’ who amalgamates,

Circling the infinite in hermeneutic calibrates.

An escaped prisoner from depressive disillusion,

Of an introspective extrovert who finds solace in confusion,

The personable recluse fighting an illusion

Breaking down the nuances of every institution.

Calculating consequence as time goes to infinity

Revolutionary commonsense of principal utility,

An opinionated adversary,

to the realist without evidence,

Theorizing in futility,

Stipulating every sense leading to the virility of the pretense that dominates community.

Divergently converging all the efforts we’ve personified,

Inadvertently submerging old traditions that unethically were codified,

Hastening the urgency for purging that which cannot be modified through the merging of the certainty that will no longer coincide,

Stationing the levies to finally stem the tide,

Of periodic enmities disguised to be necessities so blatantly deified.

Observing moral sentiments, perched upon eternity,

As consequential regiments are expounded universally,

To unstratify the residents indiscriminately

And identify quantum elements spiritualistically,

Changing collective behavior individually,

Socializing constructs in joint ventured logo therapy.

This is an edited, expanded, expounded, confounded, reverberation of Linguistic Illusions to Probable Solutions written months back.
