A Rumination on People Living Together in a more or less Ordered Community
Aggregation leads to aggravation
and the persistence of pestilence.
Compliance begets reliance
and a flash of orderly disorder.
As a structure it appears quite solid
But the sides are peeling away
Exposing the knobby-kneed skeleton
holding the whole thing together.
A memo has been issued:
‘Dear Mr. Hardy,
Thou shalt not [insert unacceptable social behavior here]
Sincerely,
Management’
The myopathy becomes my apathy
Which leads me to reply;
Who makes up these rules, anyway?
and why can’t we live without them?
