many are separated
from themselves, from their very own experiences in life itself
they represent themselves as socially constructed,
socially approved automata, as mass-cultured rhetorical un- clowns
they deny what they actually do,
by painting socially approved 'pictures' of themselves
'false life' narrative pictures, really
nothing but affirmations of a being separated from reality
and deeply approving of socially approved fantasies
totally immersed in some symbolic order
they are always in need of a stage, a platform, a microphone
for nothing but their rhetorical acts, plays, shows
too numerous to give examples here
but wherever there's an office,
a gatherering of an audience
beginning with a socially approved gendered wife,
rhetoric trumps personal life realities
they always only can 'represent' a fiction
never themselves from within their ever 'false life'
in reality all their symbolic living is always opposed to all realism
