In a debate, both parties
do their best
to mean
the things
they say; it's just that
the definitions
are always
gradually changing.
For instance,
everyone's confident
in insisting—
the most shameful thing
a human can do
is choose
to love something
it's impossible
to get rich abusing—but
the humanity bit
tends to get a little
stuck between
their dictionaries' pages,
last seen—marooned
someplace
weirdly perfect
between
mundane—and eminently
despicable.
