Habitus

"...created only,
not by them, but
by the idea of
institution itself
speaking through
them to you. it
is a dialogue
as old as time."
--Dorothea Lasky

That's us
In the habitus
With a face
Full of grace

And gravitas and
Fuck me any-
way while you call
My name that

Is you hail me so
That I know I am
Me each each
Other's allergy

The suffering
Entailed by
Everybody to
Be any body

A pound of
Flesh the pro-
verbial crack
Of the whip

In every-
thing one regards
As civilizing
By this are

We called
To love and
Work by this we are
Said to work.
