Poem: Syllogism
Then surely this must follow
Like a trained dog lurking at the heel of his master.
You, who take offense at the vagaries of language, the cracks and crevasses where imprecision allows victims of low self-esteem to imagine offenses that were never intended
Nor existed —
You, you made the connection between one symbol of meaning and
Another.
And the conspiracy to reduce your sex to something infantile and degraded
Was discovered.
