Aghast
Can I articulate?
appropriate the appropriate
metaphor?
perhaps not
“Qu’ils mangent de la brioche”?
Marie Antoinette never said it
but might I declare
Laissez-les voir les filtres?
Is reality
really all that?
Proponents claim it a necessity
activists I admire
call for clarity
speaking truth
to power
filters
are thus
suspect
or made to be so extreme
as to be obvious
and thus
no danger
I beg to differ
I defer to begging
I beg to depure
Against such art
no danger
stands a chance
I beg to demur
——
Blessed…
