Oblique Strategies
OBLIQUE STRATEGIES
To improve the world
You try to change the others
There’s another way
Our Best (26a)
OUR BEST
We struggle
Gamely, unobserved
Not often
Successful
Still there’s always tomorrow
Until there isn’t
~~~~~~~~~~~
Not The Real Thing
NOT THE REAL THING
Fearful egoistical manifestation
Engenders armorial inflation
Leads to superfluous titivation
Over time astute observation
Advises timely disintegration
For eventual emancipation
Bien Sûr
BIEN SÛR
Here’s to tomorrow
Recalling bien sûr
That the sole change
We are capable of
Is the seed we plant
In this current moment
Asleep At The Wheel
ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL
This identity
Determined to improve things
So full of itself
Please
PLEASE
I beg you
Brothers
Sisters
If you have yet
The will
Unblock yourself
Overcome
Your unexamined
So-called patriotism
No more than a convenient
Comfortable and safe disguise
Masking a barely unacknowledged fear
Feel that fear a moment
That fear – Of the Other
– Of the Unknown
Of all them those Out There
All Them those out there
All Them in here
Breathe in
Breathe out
Release
Breathe in
Breathe out
Release
