Sociology
(6.10.2023)
Sociology (the end of)
Bridges and doors? Nice topic for
Your undergraduate essay.
But this scientific discipline must be considered
To be seriously run down.
(It does not keep its promises – perhaps it never did.)
And I do remember trying to explain
System theory to a childhood friend –
What a disaster! –
And I did not even mean, or aspire to promote
System theory at all.
(Who does seek abstraction anyway?)
Phenomena of power? Yes, this is what sociologists do
They merely do aspire to collect
Descriptions of phenomena.
But novelists do better, and writers, for they know
Complexity, and further do explore
Bridges and doors, and ruined friendships.
