this individual tradition

stress not dear but do carry on
with authorship action, so do.
This time keep training feeler-eye
on maintenance making meaning
opaque so righteousness soldiers

are aroused to the point of limp
rifle-rams against the castle walls;
stumble halls of holy marble,
frothing, sniff settings dialed to
abstraction whiffs thus primed to zap

weird art, poetry, musical
compositions with more than three
chords or dressed in notes too pretty.
And beware the most mainstream
beast: we are here to learn lessons.
