I suppose you might have missed out on Paul Feyerabend's,
and especially Thomas Kuhn's Problem of Incommensurabiity.

quite the same since...

I must admit
You left me broken…
I am shattered shards,
Spread out on your hands…
Your sweaty palms of uncertainty at hand
But, we will land in a land of I-understand…

Prologue and Epitaph:

I am the fool, the jester, clown, a harlequin, charade, façade of many

A large group  picketed outside 
Of the toilet paper factory. 
People held picket

Let's do a bit of sacramental gaming.

Oh no, Dear!
That smells and sounds coldly inappropriate.
What would your great-grandmother say?

OK, well...

That might be alright,
although heavy.

silent adoration – soft as the light
climbing the skies, breathless and alive

mounting impressions of the sea’s gentle tides,
flowing with worship, admiring the...
