Social Reconstruction Poem by Scott J. Shepard

If you wanted to talk

On the laws of Durkheim

Or Marx and Weber

Sinoatrial signals that cardiac syntax

Moral and immoral phonemes whose dialect

Drop bricks onto arteries

Or the bronchial sound of each breath

That noises anomic like natural selection

To choose what air to breath

What winds to share?

The Aristotelian teleological

That has become necessary to such nature

To the movements of your mouth

And the superstructure of my heart

The dynamics of this body

And to the infrastructure that created it
