LIVING THROUGH

When we're not 
teaching children 
"birds of a feather," 

it's because we're busy
watching television—

or whichever 
events currently 
aggregate as such.

You won't want 
to miss a second

of the 
currently trending
"When Opposites Attack."

*

Listen up. Listen in.

A critical-
mass viral 
load of new pronouns 

can 
in rare instances
be followed 

by the uproarious 
and involuntary 
expectoration of verbs. 

Might as well 
try 

to keep the sun 
from rising 

as dare to dam 
up the loud 

laugh of semantic 
drift.

*

It is difficult, 
but not 

impossible to imagine

never having 
to live

through any of this
again.
