Everything continuously changes
versions of the same thing occur in time
exactly as in a series of acts
related to each other without sense
yet meaning underlies understanding
to the extent that randomness remains
however possible, unseen, unheard
in the collective consciousness, as sense
not only undermines arbitrary
givens as nonsense, but out of sequence
collections of ideas, such as numbers
or, even more strongly, the alphabet
not to derange the sense attributed
to systems set in place, institutions
in practice, criminal justice and law,
notions of discontinuous series
undermine the fabric society
organizes meaningful connections
under a banner we call our nation
structures no one notices like mortar
liberally applied between two bricks
yet, only what's necessary remains
creative disorder or destruction
however puerile in concept, allows
architecture to dismantle, explode
not simply to remove the old buildings
guarantees on safety, stability
exchange one structure for yet another
simply to shift the undesirable
