Surely it's sufficient merely to expose a single buttock, thus proving that there are at least two things (myself and my buttock), and therefore that there are things external to myself.

Moore's Proof of the existence of an external world:
- expose your right buttock
- say "here is a buttock"
- expose your left buttock
- say "here is a buttock"
- it follows that there are at least two material objects in the world
- so there is an external world
- QED

Much better are propositions of the form "P, but I don't believe that P."

Oh yes, now I see -- our imperfections are what make us special, what make us human... what make us capable of love.
You just keep telling yourself that, you second-rate failure.

I see. The use of the verb crouch (which -=Dark_Angel=- had coined in the commentary on The Negro) and the last line made me think it was about an escaped negro. I now realise it is merely an tale from the outhouse. You fail.

A good try, but all poemes about escaped negroes must end with their capture. Any poeme that doesn't highlight the futility of trying to escape is only likely to rekindle that awful twinkle they get in their eyes when they think "I'm not a slave - I'm a human being". I once had to shoot a whole herd because of that.

If I didn't know better, I'd say you'd somehow turned into a Mature Poete in your absence.

Drugs aren't simlpy a casual presence in your life - your entire personality would crumble if you didn't spend every waking moment telling everyone about the time you once smoked a meth.

1. Not without some sort of implicit context.
2. Are you denying that there could be such a thing as a statue of apprehension, or that it would look like Sleeping Beauty? To deny the former is obviously buncombe. The fact that you can't easily think of what it might look like doesn't mean it couldn't exist.
But to deny the second is equally buncombe. It might once have seemed plausible to deny that a statue of liberty could like a woman holding a torch, but obviously it could. Is your imagination so withered that you actually need to see a statue in the shape of Sleeping Beauty that represents apprehension before you can accept there could be such a thing?

I think you should replace it with the craziest, naughtiest cocktail of as many drugs as you can. Then you would be the coolest poete around.

Excellent. But xunitedx promised me a proper limerick. If it were posted as a poeme that would be even better.
