Dictionary Lesson (Free verse) by Dovina

When I said, “I love you,” and soon realized its reciprocal, “You love me,” and its result, “We are in love,” and much later, with its contrary, “I don’t love you,” and finally its opposite, “I hate you,” and when, after a long hiatus, its many reverses blured into, “I have no feeling for you,” I realized my dictionary is a history, written ahead of fact, a compendium of devolution.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Whether or not the poeme is a philosophical enquiry is not the point. Please recall your original guffhampton:

"I believe this poem relates to philosophy in the sense that it puts forward premises which it uses to make conclusions."

You claim this poeme puts forward premises which it uses to make conclusions. I claim it doesn't, and have been explaining why. Your latest dumpling has strayed from the point, and we won't get anywhere until you screw your head back on and address the point.

Furthermore, you are *especially* especially thick for not understanding the difference between:

A: Snow is green
B: I, -=Dark_Angel=-, said the words "Snow is green".

A is false. B is true: I said it just now. Please reread the previous post until you understand it.
