On Being and Essence

It’s hard to grasp a quiddity
It wriggles, like a squiddity
Definition, like a tentacle
May writhe until you’re spentacle
And with insufficient suction
Your mind is out of lucktion

      I’m taking lots of things, mostly barbiturates. Tell me about this Phil101. What does it do to the brain?

        Not hardly! While they fed you and JOB in your crib (or at least at TAC), I had to chisel my way into the cell where one day I’ll finally croak. And Angelico is … maybe an alien sent from the future to rescue us all.
