Contracting Tradition
We are the conventional tribe, cloistered
Beyond the toil and sweat of the heart,
Headed by a reasonable conscription
Of equitable and convenient rights.
Continue, oh age of common sense,
To legalize our constancy by blood,
To colloquialize our marbled speech,
To contextualize our labored works,
To commute our intransitory sentence,
That we (in unity depraved) might
Consecrate to the corrugated gods
Our enflamed and our idiotic wills.
