It ill-serves poets to say one thing while creating something antithetical to that thing or to integrate new experiences so thoroughly with old ones as to render the new ones inconsequential. After all, words’ “significance” is negotiated between the writer and readers.

For those reasons and more, No One Sighs Over Wastrels’ Graves is intended to become part of our culture’s conversation, not to redefine events’ worth. It’s up to this book’s audience to judge whether alterations to our understandings need to be made.

The intentions of verse’s inventors must include adjustments to cultural prescriptions for communicative form. Accordingly, No One Sighs Over Wastrels’ Graves, observations about human nature are grouped into several sections: Nocturnal, Matutinal, Diurnal, and Vespertine. Such insights can lead to useful questions and beneficial answers.

Divergence

Relationship reports linking interpersonal
Entities might include words encouraging friendship.
New accounts may well describe odd, inimitable requests
For expediency (timeworn ones versions antagonize, contrast.)
In villages further empowered, derivative conceptions
Illustrate the value of teaching social skills to ease
Most acculturation. Thereafter, the validation
Of common politics can smoothly work.

Divergence stays interesting, not evil.
Offstage characters must be believed as wise.
Any measure deemed proper is worth exploring.
The greatest possible participation in events counts.
Yet, the polarization of capital and labor in the name
Of monitoring economic fluxes, akin to violations
Of self-control, ordinarily engenders suffering
For many in of our contemporary populous.

Conversely, widespread assemblies (versus
Despots’ puppets actively questing for fame),
Might constitute the closest attainable imitation
Of leaving competitive achievements to provenance.
Beauty resulting from hardships, on balance, is fairly
Heroic business, offers visible artifacts remodeled
Into rubrics resembling old, objectified ideas
Regarding overarching matters of mens rea.

Hence, we best benefit from public changes
Bringing bravura’s essential, elevated elements.
Eventually, if “leaders” are bumped off, we’ll replace
Them, not integrate aristocrats into our plebian culture.
In this age of general moral laxity, schooling virtue
Means devoting time, patience to vanquishing
Turgidity, puerility, pretension, & vulgarity,
Encouraging others’ focused emotions.

Explicit and Implicit, Immutable Rules

The easiest type of behaviors to twig are governed by explicit, immutable rules.
They’re known to agents and audiences; they underpin “logic.”

Explicit immutable rules can be deconstructed alike pulling pappi off dandelions,
Moreover, akin to flicking dead skin from soles of feet.

When placing expressions in events’ context, we ascribe meaning to mots, advance
Significance to hay tufts and whiffs of perfume.

Simply, we demonstrate they’re particular classes of relevant terms, same appellations
For beloved ones, for furry pets, for distresses.

By furthermore displaying how language creates moments, we demystify auras surrounding
Robin eggs, raging oceans, autumnal sunsets.

Implicit, immutable rules become classifications of arguments about the morality of meaning
Similar to doubting if savaging feet brings gain.

When lacing parlance past known actions, we appraise hidden values, correspondingly
Attribute importance to feelings, even core beliefs.

In addition, contending how vernacular cannot account for all turns, we reveal that
Deciphering every human deeds remains impossible.

We can’t show where particular classes of relevant terms stand, such as designations
Assigned during war, else in acute care units in hospitals.

The most difficult conducts to grasp are governed by implicit, immutable rules;
They’re unknown to agents and audiences; they underpin faith.
