E MAIL TO DAMNISO LOPEZ 146


Obfuscate,

Not to cater
To collectors, but to avoid
Disasters, concomitant
With
The
Fiction of clarity,
Obfuscate to find asters.

If education has eradicated
Your birthright, natural radicalism,

By the A, B, C, D, F electrocution,
Crowned your forehead
With simulated laurel
Symbolizing a simulated radicalism,

If the high score
On the aptitude test,
Left you a puppet

Without apostasies,
You need aposiopesis.

Only through obfuscation
Can the crucified objects be reborn.

Objects murdered
By the social constructions
Can be resurrected

By chants
Of obfuscation, the exorcism
Of clarity and its falseness.

The logical, the rational,
Common sense
Is the origin
Of the grave of words.

Everyman’s vocabulary
Is a
Cemetery.


Duane Locke
