A Tale.
In the race of biorobots who ruled one planet,

An old timer nudged a small visiting nephew:
“Have you noticed that when someone offers another person advice
they invariably do so in a whiney voice?”
 
 
 

Another Tale.
The prodigiously puffed-up liege proclaimed:
“It is our sacred duty to steadfastly repeat that which we have already done,
and to studiously avoid any future that contains personal change.”
So spake the common people’s stupedious Anti King.
(As he read of this in the paper the next day at breakfast, one villager mused:
“A bit of early morn irony does not un-well go with one’s conventional corn flakes.”)

                                                                  some life must fall.”
 
 
 

Just as women certainly understand sex, but not men’s experience of it, neither can those of ordinary consciousness ever comprehend what it’s like to be otherwise.

“Oh! –  a play about my special consciousness!”
 
 
 

One fellow noted to his inner partner:
“Every time you feel that someone has done you wrong,
by way of keeping count you could say to yourself: ‘X²’. ”
His intangible reflection reflected on this for a sec, then asked:
