i wanted to write a poem
about how i agree with ye
that we should not be afraid of a swastika
and how we should change
its meaning to something else,
but how i actually disagree with ye
on the design of his slides
that i bought in trieste few years ago,
but i decided not to write that poem
because i could not find
anything wrong with his slides.

i forgive ye because
i do not think that what he said
is what he meant.

sometimes we should
not take words so literally
no matter how literal they appear to be.

and ye is a good opportunity to
practice not getting excited
about literal meanings.

i hope
ye forgives us all
for taking him so literally.

the difference between
ye and bayc
is that ye is open

is he a crazy person
ranting nonsense
for absolutely no reason?

is he a genius
trying to liberate us
from oppressive divisive ideas
sacrificing himself
through extreme provocation?

is he a desperate person
trying to liberate
his and our mind
from programmed
idiotic stereotypes?

is he all of the above?
