If I’d have ever thought it would come to this, I’d
probably have given the game a miss; it is, after
all, whether you considered a creative penchant
worthy effect for contemplation. For outcomes it
often goes against the grain, or against the only
romp going - that is intrinsically known either by
playing the rules, or ruling the plays - there’s an
always-alert hegemony which tethers that roost
But we’re looking for ‘original’ solutions to boring,
repetitively ineffectual remedies keeping a status
quo pot bubbling away - sure, it keeps a mass of
deadwood off the street but it doesn’t in the least
touch on its real problem. We’re satisfied for the
wrong reasons & too easily opposed to change
The reason we keep up the sham’s because it is
easier t’ keep similar ideas in the same slammer;
why not let ‘em free & defeat each other in detail,
no rules needed - the most innovative’ll fly above
the mass & see all th’ political pitfalls we’ve been
stewed in for the last pot’s-worth of a century
