So why not this?

there is no reason this action will yield any benefit - 

there is no logic which explains its sense - 

no method to justify the madness of the act - 

but this ---

something must change - 

something must give - 

some sharp corner must be rounded - 

some new scrutiny brought to bear - 

(my silence does not grant consent) --- 

(it never did) --- 

-----

so why not this? 

why not an action, taken once 

and then undone, now done again? - 

why not an action that serves no purpose 

but this ---

to underline the empty space where

what should be is not

what should have been 

has not been? --- 

__________

there is no reason this action will yield any benefit - 

there is no logic which explains its sense --- 

no method justifies the madness of all that -

and this --- 

its own absurb illogical folly - 

imagines its own eloquence - 

speaking its own plain truth - 

to those who would not could not did not 

(will not ?) - 

listen --- 

-----

therefore --- 

this mute, implausible action 

voices the only reply possible

to an impossible situation ---

the impossible reply ---

_________

and in this perfect expression 

of this imperfect circumstance

it becomes ---  

reasonable - 

beneficial - 

logical - 

sensible - 

methodical -

and justified --- 

---

so why not this? 

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:  unusual action, entirely justified
