I Am Just Trying To Deconstruct It Poem by Atef Ayadi

I Am Just Trying To Deconstruct It



long ago,
i mean way before the ancient
time.
way before time and new york times
and wall street journal;
woman provides relationship, safety and comfortable zone for her kid;
man expand that comfortable
zone
by pushing the kid out.
by language, gesture, and persisting actions,
a kid is a new born universe
that does not need more than that.
nature
not god
will provide all the rest,
not plastics, cubes, plastic guns,
or video consoles.
that is god's shameful business.
we became an awful
specie.
few alpha or omega chimps
enjoys their neo liberal policies,
and anything else dies,
they will say cancer is a genetic for
example.
since when?
heart attack!
since when?
diabetes!
since when?
maybe it is a gene,
a karma gene
a revenge of the neanderthals
or a past sudden australopithecus
ramidus's wish out of desperation
for anything else other
than nuts and grass.
