- Metaphor machine
-
- The metaphor machine
- a new invention based on the symmetrical structure of opposites
- take all the pairs
- and you will see that the whole world lies in between
- the metaphor machine
- makes blurriness a virtue
- feels for tendencies through the space of sense and thought
- tells you your mother is neither soft nor hard
- but so-much-of-this and also that
- speaks to the blind of probable causes
- of roundishness around one hundred meters
- and a row of parallel perpendiculars which tends towards fence
- the decision is yours
- the metaphor machine never excludes
- merely waltzes around and around
- and even ice is only
- relatively
- cold.
