Quotation Marks
when you haven’t got the
right thing to say on the
tip of your tongue or
you find yourself simply
too lazy to make the
effort---you are left finding the
words that someone else at
some other time said that
you now find applicable to
the context in which you are
presently operating.
flick those double peace signs up
beside both of your temples---
a bit of generic performance art
which everyone seems to be able
to do---and really
everyone does---so why we still
feel the need to do so when we find
ourselves quoting someone else,
that is beyond the majority of us.
out of sheer boredom,
we do so very much to pass the
time.
