Freed Of Reminders

And the question remains - what makes it a better 

choice; living cheek by jowl in the dewlap of those 

passions expressed as essential to being whom a 

trendsetter blessed as fashionable? Maybe, if you 

can find an untainted agreement freed th’ raucous 

controversy of contemporaneity; and yet we’d vex 

if we did unless we could see what we’re missing; 

not easy in an urbanity, the sigils are too potent a 

reminder we’re due on schedule somewhere else 

and there’s a tariff on status to pay as if for whom 

we need keep up these appearances-terms we’d 

agreed to maintain as necessary for a status quo, 

but if - and only if, it mattered more so than being 

freed of reminders we’d chosen to dwell within
