IN SOME CIRCUMSTANCES
TALK IS NOT ONLY ALL YOU CAN DO

But All You Should Do

One guy's latest, (and he says perhaps most ultimately significant), ponder is: "Which is funniest--fiction or nonfiction?"

(In some secondary circumstances,
talk is not only all you can do,
but all you should do as well.)

Everything thought is partially possible:
In fact, where it's already in words
it's already in some reality.

One man's conclusion:
"Memory is not kind."

And one guy thought, "How can I believe it if I don't say it?!!"

The perfect doughnut is the doughnut consumed.

In a closed-end reality, once a system reaches a certain level of efficiency, some local observers will perceive it to be out of control.

One of the warrior vocal-bundles noted to a comrade,
"The beauty of deep muscle bruises is that they don't show and that they're so deep." (A city battlefield reporter sent back his first dispatch which read: "None understand blood like: those doing the bleeding, those who caused the bleeding, those who saw the affair that brought on the bleeding, and those who write home about it. Hi Mom--ten-four--1040, over and out.")

There was a man who had a little "possibility-thought" cross his mind (just to himself, don't you see) and it said:
"A real revolutionist might not believe anything he said."
(The thought noted that the word to be emphasized therein was not "might" or "anything," but "believe.")

One chap offers to share his latest definition of "tradition" with us.
(It is as follows): "Tradition is the best overcoat ever made for ignorance."

Religion has always provided man with the idea that change is possible even though he knows otherwise.

As they were changing shifts in the speakers' area of city park, some guy jumped into the cleared area and yelled out, "I--me, myself--have concluded that in instances where the truth does not prevail, irony takes over."
As someone shooshed him away he hollered back over his shoulder, "And a damn fine job it does too, I say."

Letter received by the Advice Doctor:
"Is unexpected behavior an acceptable substitute
for surprising thought?"
(The good doctor thinks that for some it is, but for those who doubt it, it's not.)

There was once a revolutionist who looked upon words as enzymes to aid the digestion of the secondary world.

One ole timer says the dreadful memory of that fateful day continues to haunt him, and that in his mind he still often sees that terrifying headline:"Two Thousand Experts CAN'T Be Wrong."

One man was recently struck with this idea:
"In the city there is no fresh water -- it's all recycled."

In the city, self-criticism is fuel;
in rebel camps, trash in the carburetor.
