the banks of ideology
where lies the liberal difference
drying under respectable sun
to fit
to fit in
To fit into
the realm of accordance
we prance in current affairs
we serpent slippery slides
maniacs flutter about beaches
flagging truths and dogma
under acceptable pressure
we swim
we swim in
We swim into
a watery trance
on the flanks of anesthesia
where lay potential torment
we cry under responsibility
to carry the brave and the ridicule
the nasty the proud and the fool
throwing earplugs and gas masks
to the unkind sea we plunge ahead
across waves of aimless detritus
fording islands of hope and lament
