OMG Structures: A Resignation in Five Acts

Act 1

.

I know not if I'll make it to the fifth,

But here is the first and here is to love:

There is not one intersection of our being

I value more than its fullness. That is to say,

A declaration of war was tweeted today--

Wait no that's literally the grossest thing. What it is

Is that love is not a fixed thing, like almost all things. 

In suffering the lashings of wayward intimations,

We learn to let loose our terrible mortality on the foundation

Of unvariegated oppression and then learn to cope with 

Having to learn about the deliberate indeterminacy of oppression.

Here we've assembled a frightening array of illuminations

On the zenith of hate and destruction and love and violence 

And forgotten to lay out hor d'oeuvres.
