something less reactive and more Darwinian

How a barn owl is never just a single barn owl.
Judgment lapsing into echo, collective
elastic pulling at the knees of aged locomotion.

Ladies and Gentlemen, please, if you wish to taste
            true joy—and

            melancholy concurrently, you must
Clothe your body in the sacramental garbs of

            MORALITY

            and put on the hat of

            LAW AND ORDER

Kim Ok
Oh, everyone's gone — or been bought out. 
Not me. I stick it out here in Soho like a barnacle to a rock.
