People

ought not
teach.

The reason is that:
we are not immaculate machines.
we are machines, make no mistake.

But!
We know that people have taught
for we have heard great recountings
from the learned hands or restless mouth
of a pupil.

Now,
being a machine
that can
teach

What are We?
What? Are you stupid or just irreverent?
A human being.

A good question is
'What is a human doing?'
A bad question is
'What is a human being?'

A question is good iff:
it can be
, answered
by a native speaker.
An answer is good iff:
it answers its question.

A question is scary.
This is emotional fact.
In fact, I would argue a stout man deaf
until he conceded that point

simply
because I could conjure a point.
A 'magic trick.'

So, the question arises:
What am "I" doing,
if I can assume that "I" am being?

The answer is neither fast nor slow,
but it comes from point B
and it finds you at point A.
You must trust that if you are to understand
my truth.

'What if I asked an immaculate machine a question?'
seems to be the next emerging question, then.
To which I answer rhetorically:
"Yes, that is very interesting."

That^
is a joke and an entirely appropriate answer.
Only someone who gets that joke
will laugh.

The Others will not.
The Others are menaces.
The Others are a ghostly cliche
that haunts our brain.

Next question:
'Why do the terrorists haunt freedom's brain?'
The punchline:
'They hate global warming.'
Do you get that one?
If so, you have earned
the right
to laugh
and here is the big whoop:
once you earn the right to laugh,
the natural impulse is
to learn to bite your tongue.
Call it a laugh.
(Lord knows why, but you're doing it again)
