Are you a gentle rationalist?
I am a GR too;
Then there is two of us, don’t tell,
They would kill us, you know.
Being a rationalist or nationalist
Involves a fatal choice
Between the perils of a reasoned life
And the supremacy of noise.
Soon there will be policy
To incarcerate the birds
For disregarding boundaries
And patriotic words,
And ceding their wings with flighty ease
To enemy organizations;
Yet how I wish I were a bird
And could derecognize nations.
