“Asunder” by GJ Gillespie
too many me’s
overwhelming the we’s
civic mass
pulled apart
social weight
of collectable conscience
summarily split
reassigned into
either/or status
the force of division
has driven
recalcitrant egos
ipseities
mindsets
to one or the other
far opposite end
of the axis
its middle abandoned
no longer considered
hospitable
void of wise compromise
mortally weakened
of robust consensus
destabilized
reft of intense
counterbalancing reason
subjecting the world
to a shuddering wobble
that threatens extinction
cataclysmic
are the physics of
deeply divergent morality
