Is it politic
identitymortality
Is it politic
To express
My reservation
The prudency of words
Their meaning
Open to interpretation
What weight my truth
The thrust
Of my infatuation
With language
Seemingly at odds
With those who may
View
My rendered thoughts
As akin to a belief
In difference
If only for the moment
Of perusal
What of my refusal
To enter into
The mutuality of exchange
When acceptance
Is reciprocation
How can I not question
Narrowness
When it implicates
My own restricted confine
Objectivity
Is by degree
As fallible a position
As subjectivity
When with every decision
We make
We move
All of the answers
To the questions
We feel duty bound
To ask,
One step closer
To our own
