Agonizing with Morphemes

Agonizing with Morphemes

 

All was good when trans was with port

And there were no problems whatsoever

When a trans was connected to verse.

 

Meanings were of little problem

Until transgenerational trauma

Proposed the transformation of a curse,

Of a tragedy, of a catastrophe through the eras

And shared across communities, societies, cultures

and families -

Is it Inherited pain; absorbed guilt;

or is it found in acidic blood legacies?

 

Pieces of history written with elemental components

Of language using small parts and pieces

found in any word shed – an agonizing morpheme to learn.

 

To transport is to carry oneself or something forth

Nothing to argue with here.

However, to transpire is to end or to go on – develop

a reasonable contranym.

Either word has a fundamental meaning.

 

Translation of transaction, transfer and transmit

all simple ways to submit or remit from any exchange.

 

What transit is needed to transfigure or to transmogrify

A lump of clay into a scientist or into an outer-space alienist?

Perhaps a transistor to resist all transhuman transmissions?

 

The question is elemental, Dr. Watson.

The keys are found in the morphemes

And the answers will beget a family of memes.

 

The transcript does not include – nor it entertain

The identity of a transgender being.

Nor will it consort in the intercourse

Of transsexual persistence.

Instead take the morphine or drug of choice;

The translations are in the omens of transition

and are channeled into omissions that satisfy

individual transfigurations.
