'Resigning Wanderingly' Poem by Micheal Valencia

'Resigning Wanderingly'



Forever in the present,
Held vicariously in centrifugality
Between the future and the past,
Between established philosophy
And innovative conception,
Between subversive idealism
And realistic revolution,
You bide your time.
Pertinaciously grasping
Romantic perceptions
Regarding ephemeral resignation,
You tepidly brood,
Confidently and prophetically.
Resignation enables
One the duality of Tyrant
And Liberator-
You only stay a submissive myrmidon
Until errors are ameliorated
With ideas conceived
While in transitory states
Of idleness:
Residing to no particular abode
Until the location of a place for repose,
You wander from Christ to Marx;
Yet, never idle and never following-
Always powerful and forever a leader,
Your destination has not been foretold
By a myopic prophet:
Once foresight marries insight
It imbues the repressed
With elements of the repression-
Instantly acceptable and conducive,
It is always and forever
Nothing that it once was.
