a beginner’s guide to postmodernism
don’t say book poem or story
its all just text
don’t talk.
have a
discourse
you may still lecture
in the timehonored way
but call it a
conversation
in the end nothing matters anyway
everyone’s opinion is as good
as anyone else’s
the external world does not exist.
ignore it.

Thanks, Rob. It's always gratifyiing to get positive feedback from an astute reader.
I mean "gratifying", of course. This cheap copy of a Mac computer doesn't spell very well..
