Learned Helpfulness

Self-reduction is not 
the equation for all-erasure,
that's an approach that
aggrandizes by convenience.

How to see and hear and smell
other people
has a lot to do
with covering up mirrors.

Teach less to understand
complex indeterminate shames
hidden under sham rocks
well and duly charred.

Certainty hates company
and loves companies
as limited liability 
slanders multiple selves.

Politics plots scars against crows,
a piece of tin and a walnut
make a car feed and deflate
and pause to see the word.
