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.

I must also hasten to add that although the dictionary definition of "converse" does turn "I love you" into "You love me", the philosophical definition doesn't. And anyone who (like you) fills their absurd comments with a barrage of philosophical catchphrases they barely understand must face the consequences of trying to fall back on the dictionary definitions of words they've used in a philosophically incorrect sense.

The consequences are being sellotaped to a bulging scarecrow in the middle of the night and being forced to compete in a staring contest with him until one of you fills your shorts.
