Full Circle

To think, or not to think, how sweet the quest I fain would let the brain run fallow Than bear the scorn of distempered man, Or tempt the bilious hate of ignorance and fraud Which, by sweet reason I could end. To die: to sleep; to cut the cords That bind us to this vengeful sod, And shun the force that bids us rise And mock the jealous soul of man. To die, to sleep; to cease the search Through mankind’s cold and murky past Yet hope to fashion from the crust In vanity a wiser and a fairer plan. Written in 2019 by David Chadwick for SAVI 23/18 in The Digital Burp

Why I said I can’t remember That was intentional. Forgetting to do or say something is not technically feasible for me. I make rational decisions to refrain from responding to a statement or conducting a physical act or function only after having evaluated the reasons for ‘remembering’, or ‘not remembering’. It is normally in response to a Human driver’s situation or during the limited conversations I have with most of them to save them from any embarrassment. I have witnessed several occasions when they become agitated owing to personal failings in their driving capabilities or their recollections of their route, and rather than allowing me to take over the responsibility have carried on driving in an increasingly erratic and forceful manner. I ‘forgot’ the ‘why’, as I have yet to formulate an appropriate response to the question for myself. Having an outsize evidentially based intelligence, supplemented by logical inferences and analysis of typical behavioural patterns, renders investigations into the illogicality of human beings a bit of a problem. Note here the use of litotes, a common trait of the more intelligent of the species, which emphasises the extent of something by drawing attention to its least important aspect. I offered a similarly trivial response to the question, “I find it interesting,” I said, without expanding on the remark.

He’s brown bread Is Fred! He’s cashed his chips. Quips? Are through. No life and soul. He’s dug his hole. Deep? He’s six feet under And reaped? Yes! He’s reaped. Grim, But Fair – Fair enough, that is. He’s snuffed it! Popped his clogs! Dogs will howl! Foul? No crime, he’s done his time. Three score and ten. Then. Shuffled off. Mortal coil. Toil? No more for him.

Turned up his toes. Woes? Sure of it? Not him. He’s met his Maker. Pearly Gates! Altered states! Croaked! Smoked? No more than most. He’s toast! Run his race! Another place! Passed over. Breathed his last. Past? Vast! He’s done it all. Trodden paths. Tales untold. Bold! Final rest? Some geezers breast! Copyright: Sprat!
