ENGLISH LESSON

Metaphor is 
not so much 

a cure 
for our vehement 
dearth of imagination; 

it's more 
of a foul-tasting 
homeopathic remedy:

a little of what kills us 
is what goes 
the longest way,

and the place 
where we are taken 

is the palace 
of our ignorance.

With practice,
we come to think 
of discrepancy 

as nothing but a plea
for our interest;

contradiction 
is a pea—and we 
are the princess.
