BARBARIAN
self
and other
guy in tweed
explaining the magistrate’s
dilemmas of
Lacanian proportions
in that book
by that other guy, who
taught me
I believe, if
I remember correctly
(so much forgotten about
that younger figure
so much baggage
had to discard
stuff
ingrown I had
to excise)
and here I am
trying to come up with
a smart arse question
that
I hope will
stump the lot of them
their on the
limits of institutional discourse
challenging those linuts
even as
I appear to treat
them with regard
inside outside
wasn’t always so
clung to orthodoxy for
security when
could barely
string two words together
self and
other
no AK or RPG but
instinctively feel
am
now barbarian
shadow made real
apotheosis of
what once feared
am indeed I believe
far less question than
a kind
of solution
