Transpositions. (Translation) . Poem by Michael Walker

A free verse poem that makes a statement about social roles and positions, especially high places gained by privileges of birth or other advantages. Let prisoners go free and put judges in prison instead. No more need to listen to boring reformers speaking in public: replace them with an idiot or an insane person.
I like the irreverence and boldness of this short poem.

I took the poem from 'Leaves of Grass', by Walt Whitman, p.346. Edited by Justin Kaplan.
