MAXIMS OF POLYPS 3

(That's all...right?)



Oppressor and oppressed share a single face.

*


One ceases to rant when there is no chance to prevail; as along as there is hope, there is ofttimes disappointment.

*

Only in the earth is a parasite 'king'.

*


Creeping weeds cover weeping creeds.

*


Comedy is another's suffering; tragedy is our own.

*


The more I know the less I want to know.

*


I am not certain I understand how any understanding is certain.

*


You were happy until you became aware of yourself.

*


It is necessary to leave once your work is done; your work was all that afforded you a place to be.

*


The man who hopes never learns.

*


Explain an idiot to a moron and give him incentive.

*


Love will not serve evil, but evil will co-opt love; become what you are--not what you love.

*


Despair is to God as crime is to cops.

*


The last agony of earth? Knowledge of failure.
The last joy of earth? Failure of knowledge.

*


The earthly mind is too limited to know itself; sorrow for the consciousness that holds this awareness.

*


We all come and go...talking of all we don't know.

*


Silence is the deepest voice.

*


Polyps calls it quits--
The preparation gives him shits
The colonoscopy gives him fits
The outcome comes in bits
To terrify his poor wits

Polyps calls it quits
