Ice, all eleven words in your conclusive, colorful and gently
dismissive sentence speak of a sophisticated, tactile reality
which could neither fit within nor ever evolve from a soup can.

'I don't know how to put this, but I am a very important man.
I have many leather-bound books, and my office smells of
rich mahogany'.

On the subject of the conceptual grammar of consciousness
Should one follow one's word salad
with one's alphabet soup,
or understanding that we are but shrimp in the cocktail of life,
excuse ourselves from the table?

I'd need more proof of intelligent creatures than the virus of a species that we belong to 😛

Again, thanks. How simple things are
when you're in the know.

i think i agree with your second sentence. but if a dadaistic poem has poetic qualities, to what extent is it a dadaistic poem?

There's a lot more to Dada than the destruction of a conventional concept of art. Some of their work is pure nonsense, but a lot of it has artistic qualities.

Oh. Didn't know. Wish I'd zipped my lip. My 2nd or 3rd 2008 bad.
Wrists are slapped. Face is red. Ventured into waters over my head.

Yes, I am sure your father is quite a fellow. It does seem a bit odd though. A person of your age saying Dada. 😕

Utter rubbish.
It's preposterous to assume that an intelligent creator didn't evolve out of a slightly less intelligent creator.
