The philosopher extricates the concept from the thinking.

The poet extricates the emotion
from the feeling.

Decency is to power
as honesty to knowledge.

The truth is cruel.
Justice is a lie.

The modern fact
                      is extended.
The modern act
                      is intentional;

the modern subject,
                      extentionless;
the modern object,
                      unintended.

The modern image
                      is a concept
backed like
                      an emotion.

The modern mind
                      is cracked.
The modern heart
                      is broken.

Let us see people again
and hear how they feel.
Let us do things, and let
us say what we think.

Intention

Don't act in desperation
nor disavow the deed.

Whatever the outcome,
it will not be yours to claim,
nor will you learn
from your mistake.

Let everything you do express
a promise or a hope.
