The deconstructionist repair man
invites you to enjoy
the brokeness of your item;
he restores your faith in it
‘as is’.
He tells you:
“It’s true beauty is exposed,
now that it’s falling apart.”
Perhaps he will find that it’s not broken enough.
He will fix it:
set each component aside, gently
to aid your contemplation
of it’s inner truth.
He asks, “What is the ultimate reality of this object?”
now that he’s stripped it
of morality’s mask:
utility.

Like–very much. Will be thinking about it all day!
let me know what you think up, I’d be really interested to hear :)!
pretty cool
thanks
Utility as morality’s mask
stripped away, as it were,
from an inner truth
that bears little
components!
Moral components that mask the inner truth?
A mask of moral components over inner truth?
Let me set all of them aside
for the moment
and ask –
if not from utilitarian components,
then where from the motivation
to put it back together
again?
Could it be that the components,
aside,
have sunk in to the inner truth
like lasting reflections
on an ultimate reality?
Or is it rather the case
that when I accepted
the deconstructionist repair man’s invitation
I presupposed myself
an item?
… Thank you Bonnie 🙂
now that he’s given you a good look
at what’s inside
it’s you’re job
to reconstruct
if you want
to use it…
OBJECT or SUBJECT
will the cracks show?
will the apparent flaws
make it glint in the sun
now that they catch
and hold the light?
