In honour of Louis Vuitton Night at the Mercury Cafe

Villanelle of Anarchism and Decadence
Away from order, things will fall
Towards this condition of decline.
And when it began, who can recall?
What revolution can one forestall?
A turning serves mostly to remind:
Away from order, things will fall.
The anxious cling and caterwaul
Without the edge, there is no define
And when it began, who can recall?
It does not profit to bawl
over what is yours and what is mine
Away from order, things will fall
Down on the ground we can only crawl
Until we tire, relax and recline
And when it began, who can recall?
Art, leadership and morals, all
in a period of deterioration divine
Away from order, things will fall
And when it began, who can recall?

Third post of the day.
For shame.
Anton will not apologize.
Flouting the rules for a poem about anarchy,
obviously, was meant to satirize.
