Lyrics
Here are some people
Being themselves
As individualities
Bodies, relations, thoughts
And capacities
Over which
They must exercise rights
The gentleman’s utility
Of right non-alienability
Remains and retains
The right to alienability
— Salesmanship
… Here and there are some
People being themselves
And conflicts can arise
When these rights
Are reflected
In unequal abilities
Or proprietorial powers
For the exercise
The gentlemanly utility
Is the one form
Of equality
For death defying
Autoiconographers
Here are some people
Being themselves
Is the exercise
Of half-wit actors
— Proprietorial cultural
Disfunctions
And the exercise of rights thereto
Remains a condition
For the commnications menu
Of authenticity
Here are some people
As a limited edition
You might ignore
The rational allure
Of Thomas Moore
And his Bondsmen
You can’t fool around
With the social history
Of Oregon
