Common Knowledges

The rain will give you cold
the sun will give you health, mostly
the snow will come in the winter and
the winter will always come, and always after fall

to be the common man with common knowledges
you must always pay your taxes on time
and never incur any late fees,
or if you do, you must pay those as well.
the common man does not go to prison for tax evasion,
and winter always comes
and always after fall

his common knowledges are used for good -
what good is, for him, need not be questioned.
it is the predicament of a less common man
an exceptional man, or a woman, perhaps
but not common, not for the common man
though the good is not common knowledge winter
always comes, and always after fall

common knowledges come from what we all can see.
he, of course, must see it too -
the apple falls not far from the tree
the squirrel must collect food for the winter
the winter will always come
and always after fall

there is no door the common man cannot open
it is common knowledge, every lock must have a key
and every key must have a lock
and the common man is commonly welcomed
as winter always comes, and always after fall.

but the common man is boring
and common knowledges are boring-er

he has no agency, no recognition of absurdism-
ridiculous, miraculous, unscrupulous realities
no feeding-two-birds-with-one-seed complex
but buying into the military industrial complex
while straddling an Oedipus complex
not complexity really but with complexes many
and winter always comes, and always after fall

common knowledges,
make way for complex knowledges,
uncommon understandings
and uncommon, knowledgeable women

who know that the winter will always come
and, sometimes, after spring.
