Take now
the tip of the tongue of X
in the pinna of Y: beautiful
example of a yes-no question
that is impossible to answer.
Other than with the Y-tongue in the X-ear.
There you have the ruffian and there you have the expert
for the hinges and locks of the nerve centre.
One knows the region well.
The other knows how to deal with so much beaufort.
So they slip away in informal deliberation.
Without us!
We are stretching the best basic principles,
twisting evidence, comparing functions,
celebrating what's premature.
