The Poem of the Week

Poem #647
(Week of 20 July, 2008)

I was thinking about invisibility this morning. The main problem, as I see it, is that you can easily be discovered if you actually try to do anything....

How to Be Invisible

Complete invisibility
Requires torpitude
Deliberate inactivity
Lest consequence be viewed
Inertness likewise mentally
Including introspection
Lest one accidentally
Be found by self-detection
