My Dominant Paradigm


Watching the primaries this
spring has shown me
how irrational
I am.

I suspected it.
Now I’m sure.

Once my mind-set
is set against another:
facts, data. statistics,
metric systems, telling
details & exquisite logic
not only irritate but actually
harden my arteries against
them.

Where I’m open-minded
don’t count. Piece of
cake, my tolerance
levels.

Where I’m not:
that’s interesting.

Illogical Irrationality, my elite
faculties: college-educated &
super-ordinate. They rule.

Logic & Ratios of Reasoned
Rationalities: my subordinate
white-man blue collar workers.
They serve my Bias & Belief
Systems, Prejudice & Conviction:
Homeland Security Bells &
Whistles, Smoke & Mirrors..

xxxooo, Sam
