lyrics

Junto[19]

Thought requires constant exercise. Cerebral mirror-shots always use hard light to highlight every fold of that garish grey/white mass. Entrust photo negatives to unconditional friends pantomiming the credentials of peer review. Hitting the minus on the magnifying glass has a way of aggrandizing the limits of freshly modest minor-league all stars. Despite my chicly framed lobes, be sure to distrust my glow. I beg of you - arm yourselves with white gloves, verite[20], and otoscopes; confront every fault and frailty; exhibit humility; take my strengths as your own. Demand an edit.

[19] “I had form’d most of my ingenious acquaintance into a club of mutual improvement, which we called Junto; we met on Friday evenings. The rules that I drew up required that every member, in turn, should produce one or more queries on any point of Morals, Politics, or Natural Philosophy, to be discuss’d by the company.” Franklin, Benjamin. The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin.

[20] “‘Someday I will have you strangled, Piter.’ ‘Of a certainty, Baron. Enfin! But a kind act is never lost, eh?’ ‘Have you been chewing verite or semuta, Piter?’ ‘Truth without fear surprises the Baron,’ Peter said. His face drew down into a caricature of a frowning mask.” Herbert, Frank. Dune.
