I understand
there is a position
if taken up
whether
in the 17th century
or somewhere else
that provides
a trustworthy perspective
on the hypocrisy
banality
and friends
always threatening
to
plow us under
revealing
a more fitting role
than that of
lead actor
but the map
I have borrowed
has been badly
roughed up
making it difficult
to follow
where it says
I
should be going.
