Concise Rebuttal

While application/petition have various legal meanings, we're discussing them in regards to Article V, where they take on specific meaning. Of course there are the same doubts and same arguments since 1787, you seem to be saying that because (some) people got it wrong 200+ years ago (and for the same reasons as today), you have an excuse.

Article V was specifically/calculatedly written to preclude control by the national government and/or state governments. To misinterpret that in order to address bogus fears regarding free discussion at a non-binding deliberative assembly is either intellectual dishonesty or cognitive dissonance--either way it’s an obstruction of justice.

untitled poem

(untitled)

The motif where animals help out the protagonist

are best; where one good turn, receives the next in return;

where nature saves the world

by administering to an individual;

whose task is to survive

relentless unconsciousness,

the sleepwalking with half sense

of everyone else.

Late edit

The TVs

have taught us

to think of ourselves

as earth-shattering demigods

with super-human powers--

when in the grand

scheme of things,

amidst jungle of stars

and galaxies, we’re the most

homely little bunch crickets

the Sun has ever looked upon.

However powerful the creature,

they too with us are

subject to paradox

within every seed, every

moment, every newborn

racing into infinity.

Loathsome little insects,

yet also upon Olympus.

Poem (second pass)

 (untitled)

Will you let me go now?

As I’d like to refocus

my heartbeat to

the unknown and how

what might be

will plow through

the nonsense

of our age.

I’m sorry the deepest

part of me said No,

if it’s true

you’re blue

with nowhere

special to go.

If it isn’t,

or wasn’t,

I’m still

here

twisting

in the wind.
