SIDELINED
trying to sideline us
even beyond the margins
trying to close us down
crimp this space
so we can’t
say
anything
to each other
conflating what we
have here
what we here explore,
revise, deconstruct, analyze,
extend,
with what machine-handle
wood block slogans
you are ratcheting up
in that
pre-industrial cogs and
wheels
machine you exaggerate
in the history
of philosophy
and psychology
that you call a brain
bringing us down
to your level
level not just flat, one
dimensional
but steamrollered until
the molecules that
bind
hold-together
cannot give any more
