it is said that
a prophet finds no honor
in his own country
hard truths

are received as a
wretched cacophony
threatening to melt

blocking the closed
intolerant ears of
intransigence

Happy Birthday Jean-Paul Sartre
reveling in the unity of contradiction
the omnipresence of disjunction
the opaqueness of transparency
the anarchy of governance
