Reconstruction

He / I / We / She / It
Decided to tear it down today
     Deconstruct
Go to the deep root causing the pain

We tooled around with a needle
  on a raw nerve
illustrating the malady
The Source of Our Discontent

For who am I? Who are We? Who are They?
  To dare to ask
Permission to speak?
Go ask Wentworth.

He / I / We / She / It
  want/s to tear it all down
  cast a match on the dumpster
use a blowtorch to weld together the remains.

A new construct of rubble
     me living in a bubble.
