Destructured …………..destruction?…………………………

I’m finding Derrida de-structured

And Levinas‘ face makes me smile

Who would have conjectured

That one day I’d lecture

On thoughfullness and all its trials?

I prefer Kierkegaard to Sartre

Who sometimes makes me feel queer.

Who would have expected

That words would be texted

As men smoked cigarettes and drank beer?

Some people like reading Jane Austen

While others juggle with Wittgensein.

Who would have discarded

The notes in the margins?

How sweetly these words recombine

Munch liked to paint people screaming,
his premonitions were strong
Who else would have expected
The human destruction
Europe brought to the world before long?
