On Foucault

Foucault, not modernly concerned with clean

Intentions, made his practices obscene.

Unmodernizing the meticulous

Regard for facts, he was not curious.

Foucault, not modernly respecting clear

Ideas of health, would find disease severe.

Unmodernizing discipline, he was

Discipled to his lust, an odious cause.

Foucault, not modernly precise in care

For health, the deadliest ecstasies would bear.

Unmodernizing discipline, he lost

Discernment, in delusion uppermost.

Foucault, not modernly considerate

Of modest care, would shame obliterate.

Unmodernizing discipline, to Mao

Discipled, all distortions he’d allow.

Infertile France

France, in the silliest infertility

Rejoicing, never fathers primacy.

There is no conduct of success in all

The French who would fertility appall.

France, unintelligibly abandoned, is

Affirming her abortive images.

There is no fecund conduct where Foucault’s

Conceits are found in solecistic prose.

Unmodernizing the enlightenment

Of France, he left her unintelligent.

What Is Abandonment

What is abandonment in Harvard where

No longer measured thoughts are weighed with care?

Abandoned pedants in unmeasured thoughts

Abuse their minds, who praise incongruous blots.

What is abandonment in academe

Where measure yields to the unmeasured dream?

Abandoned academics, no precise

Perceptions seeking, give obscure advice.

Not modernly commensurate with care

For measurements, good judgment they forbear.

Judgment is derelict, not discerning right

From death with unintelligible despite.

The Fittest Dictums

The fittest dictums are mellifluous,

Bringing unforced persuasion over us.

Of profits Marxists have, as faults amount.

Dictates exalting who “let be” disdained.  

  

Marx, unforeknowingly, has marred the folk

And, breaking correspondences, concernments broke.
