Lore, deliver me from abstraction!

Tell me a story about reality in excruciating
fictional detail: torture the specifics for 
a thousand pages to lead to the general, 

to make life a question of values is the
highest way to chain yourself to a rabid
skunk, your senses will go before you
lose yourself completely, as you intended;

be purposeful in your choices, decide with
the clarity of a perfect selection, do your
business with engagement and I am sure that
the single letter personal noun is a farce

constructed to ensure that the benefits of
plurality accrue to a single place: be sure
in your boxes and decide who the second
person is because the mirror is glass and
you're seeing someone else in the morning

and before you go to sleep.
