947. INELUCTABLE

INELUCTABLE
To the leering, dark and self-referencing
channels of Christianity and any of its
quirky adjuncts, I have no allegiance.
As such, the rebirths of 'Nature' as symbol
fed by pagan feasts usurped by an
anti- intellectualism of the sort that, say,
Easter is, cause me no pause but thanks.
Words may graze those feasts and stop
and drink. And too one hundred flowers
may bloom. Mankind? - as Auden said,
'to fresh defects he still must move.'
