The Paradox of Language
-There are Stupid
Republican Brutes,
and acid wits, both
saying the same things!
-Thus was it ever. So,
such rot
comes out
in the wash,
okay?
-We’re ashamed
to really watch!
-Shame, like love, is fleeting.

Co-Dependents
Marcie-Jen flat out lied!
Frequently challenged, she complained that people
painted her into a corner, thus forcing more lies.
“That much is true,” maintains our Elder One.
"You shouldn't show how clever you are by
trapping her."
“Yeah, first you should work on your own behavior
first!” That from Derrick, who never did. And fancied her.
He was warned away by the wise Elder. "Just don't depend
on her! Push will really really come to shove, and she'll
let you down by telling the truth."
“Then the truth will be a lie!” added Tess, who thought
that funny.
“We’re getting to something here!”
“Yeah, Philosophy!” Derrick spat. “No wonder I flunked it.
Religion too! Same teacher. A small college.”
Too many of those! And we went off on Education, leaving
Marcie-Jen to lie as a lifestyle.

Exits Three
-My Aunt Betts, who never swore, unleashed a blue streak
when dying.
-Was she horribly disappointed in life?
-Quite the opposite. Laughed more than her share.
-Then, why do you suppose...?
-Became available.
...
-Randolph, the horse, found solace as we read
Kierkegaard to him.
-Did the vet recommend?
-Said it wouldn’t hurt. Being and Nothingness.
-That’s Sartre!
-What the hell’s a horse care?
...
-The professor explained a paradox as he expired.
-Were you edified?
-Mumbled too much.
-As in life. Where do you suppose lost words go, anyway?
-The air. You walk into them.
-And then act?
-Not if you can help it!

Then, Particular
They ask and ask, but you're not allowed.
Even as they fiercely threaten you, they know this.
If beatings, you must hold on! They’ll never forget
how you played by the rules.

Conferring on The Nation’s Business
The Congressman Listens With Gravity
-I got two talking points for your Meet the Press:
One, President too aggressive! Dangerous to
us and the whole freakin world!
Two, President a pussy! Just too timid for these
virulent times!
-Do I alternate them?
-Hey! When the shoe fits...?
-And when it doesn't?
-Jam it on!

Development
And onto the docket
went paradox. It
confounded
the scholar and
person in turn.
