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?

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?
