when your arbitral ghosts debate
through the frozen morning
when do you cast off your dictionary
of too sober generations' recycled pages
intransigent against alleged quagmires
i am one man among billions of people
and so we are strangers
but we will die together brave pupils
traitors to meaningless incursions
which eternal war is this
who are the alleged villains
forbidden vocabularies and new words
shout them back into their alabaster mouths
hardened against the changing of tongues
