Intertwined companions yell across canyons

Obstinacy & Aging
those two intertwined companions
with their hangups engaging
they be yelling across canyons

In perpetual dance
unyielding stays their stance

Their ingrained character flaws
refuse to step aside
whether as result or cause
leaves us worn, bleary-eyed

With Obstinacy one might try engage
while with Aging merely watch its rampage

‘They’ used to be plural, now procural

Outrage of neoliberalism
seems to have taken the backseat
(as well the fear of proto-fascism)
for the ‘neo-pronoun elite’:

Stray on the neo-pronoun path
where they self-righteously prance
we risk get mauled by minions’ wrath
in their identity dance

Their chase for the proper pronoun
shall seemingly never slow down

Bi-lingual rhyme may wryly chime

The facial ’emoji’

found these days ubiquitous
en platt ‘pedagogi’
or outright iniquitous

In the tongue of my mother
would be ‘känsloikon’
who in my youth came rather
across as ‘känslokall’

While little she related typed from keyboard
mest uttryckt muntligt från eget ‘ordförråd’
