Inconveniences Rightly Considered

Page 11

by Lancelot Schaubert

III. Convo

  here I am by

  pot luck ladies

  slicing slicing

  I was made to dissect a fetus

  of a pig in public school.

  They called Dead Piglet "science"

  in the class that nixed my

  right to a creator who,

  in another class at the selfsame school,

  created me with

  certain inalienable rights.

  They say they want The Word

  removed from the phrase,

  yet they praise basic human rights,

  and rights assume a standard right,

  a Right One

  who holds both sense and power to right the wrong,

  so whether or not He's mentioned,

  He's present as

  Righter

  of Rightly named "crimes" against humanity.

  The South end of the hall forbade

  my Right to a creator

  while the North end of the hall professed

  inalienable Right.

  When convenient, they raise Him up

  IV. The Whisper

  "When you are old, they'll raise you up"

  III. Convo

  when inconvenient, they slab him

  IV. The Whisper

  "and take you where you do not want to go"

  III. Convo

  this and other tautologies of schools called

  high

  taught me that it's never whether

  To tautology or not to tautology

  but rather

  which tautologies we mind.

  I digress:

  A student came to meet his teacher

  back in ancient Greece.
