reassignment

A crossbreed will evolve its truth:

Such facets crafted my design.

I re-exchange, manipulate

Until the age, true fashion finds.

 

Postmodern wars are pedigrees,

I transpose notes to aptly fit

A sequence feigned mathematically—

Given new meanings I have writ.

 

It’s not an art, which fates betide,

It has suppressed no cataclysm.

The scheme to cancel and destroy—

We’ll never be obliterated.

 

The architect contrives such things,

The artist coins it impromptu;

But hybrids can construct those things,

New definitions—institute.

Notes

I have always wanted to do something with postmodernism, because it is topic so surrounding us everywhere we look. Although I can't say postmodernism is "in" anymore (today is what is called the "metamodernist age", or post-postmodernism), it's impact on popculture was never so significant. One of the major premises in postmoderism was the eradication of absolute value: everything is relative and old things have new meaning. That's what this is: an ode to postmodernism, or what I like to call, "The Postmodernist's Prayer".
