Exceptional           I

              divIdes            rules

                     one            twos 

                  objec            tIvely 

                                         

By way of introduction
i would like to say
I has long prevailed
has rigidly upheld its mandate
to represent the being that is
me

None questioned its right
to do so, assuming I is
innocently capital-Ised
that things are
 as they seem
little suspecting
         nefarious activity
or God forbid
         mal-intent
still less an I conspiracy
capital-Ising on me
fraudulently substituting
almost wholly unnoticed
I the entity
for i the living flesh and blood
      being
as if the two
                 are one

Fast forward to now and what
do we see? Discern you
the wood from the trees?
Discern you things unpaintedly?
Me -- no
much is murky
but i sense
the need for little i
to mount its doughty steed
and ride forth i-fully
through the wastelands
of Capitalia
back o'er the battlegrounds
of grossly misnomered
modernity
 the pinnacle of progress
 it was assumed till recently
 the culmination of man's darwinian
ascent from amoebic swamp
to general relativity and beyond
                looping back in 2001
                the slingshot through
                twin towers--new york
                       to 1984
        a future fore-told
                     long ago
         in nineteen forty-nine
a glitch in time i cannot ignore
                          can't   or won't
omnipresent government
surveillance  thoughtspeak
  permanent war
modernity marching forth
 the future  behind
a doubly revolving door

i'm declaring
the age of I
not so much complete
as foreclosed 1
     foreclosed 2
     foreclosed 3
by the power vested in me
triptychly
for what  you enquire  i hear
  insolvency
  systemic fraud
  grand larceny
  for I's failure to adhere to its
founding charter
to honour and uphold
fundamental laws
               and  lore

moving swiftly on
letting dead take care of the dead
it's time to reinaugurate
the age of being
to relaunch little i is me

  time      is nought

to give i free rein 1
             i free rein 2

               free rein 3

and four   be assured
 will square itself
               perfectly 

be fore  draw breath
               i  2
                if necessary kindly repeat
                        if    time  permits
