Cabaret de Self-reflexivity

“‘yields falsehood when preceded by its quotation’ yields falsehood when preceded by its quotation”
Quine’s Paradox

Leaning on an imaginary cane,
legs crossed at the ankle,
the cut of his dinner jacket
suggests a slight but clever
man who cares for the rigidity
of thoughts. He kicks out
a twirl from his imaginary cane.

A hula-hoop at each wrist,
one at her neck,
two across parallel knees,
her hips shoulder three:
she is a drunkard’s Venn diagram:
technique meets promiscuity
at this point here.
