The Pre-Believed

So, on my left is Kierkegaard
And on my right is Kant;
The many-thousand things I’ve read
In need and hope and want

Much puzzlement belabored me,
But much good I received;
Back when we read to learn
Not just confirm the pre-believed

And as to where I ended up,
There’s really no such thing;
Until our journey’s over, we’re
Always learning
Something

Spinoza Goes To Spring Break

Spring Break

It isn’t such a mystery
Unequalled throughout history
To think of a fraternity
In light of all eternity

There is no good there is no bad
There’s only more fun to be had
There’s only friends and pranks and spoofs
Ten axioms and 90 proofs

Modern Supplement to Zeno’s Paradoxes

Philosopher

The truth about my somnolence
A secret I’ve been keeping:
When I wake up I’m still asleep
And hence, I’m always sleeping

For everyone knows this is true:
One is asleep till they’re awake –
So if I wake up still asleep
And never rouse, and that’s no fake
