     TWO DOGMAS OF EMPIRICISM

        for W.V.O. Quine

I sat down to repast, but not at a table with many courses; it wasn't
dinner, exactly.
I couldn't see it all at once;
I was blindfolded,  and presented each course separately.
Then I was told I ate a meal as one whole, and each 'course' was a
figment of my perverted appetite.
You can't get beyond that, mocked the chef.
He pinched my ass, but I couldn't see where to smack him.

[13 February 1995]
