Upon Contemplating Christopher Hitchins

________________________________________________________________________________________________

Tautology lurks

with/without perks

more like: per chance

do the  if-then  dance

Simple two-step or
four, six, or three
test your mental
choreography

Aim for descartes or
just fire a gun
begin with premise
end with conclusion

Conjoin concluded
thought with more thought
perfect partners
are perfectly taught

To be/ to not be
doo-wop do go
with yin-yang dip
step fast or step slow

If dogs can run free
then why should i–
enslaved by thought–
reach for the sky

Tautology lurks

with/without perks

more like: per chance

do the  if-then  dance
