Tractatus Logico-poeticus

                          Wovon man nicht sprechen kann,

                              darüber muss man schweigen.

                                                Ludwig Wittgenstein

If you are not you

you are not necessarily

someone else.

By the same token,

if you are you,

you are not a metaphor.

You may be no more

than a figure of speech.

And no less.

In that case what difference

whether your language

be public or private?

Ponder it—whoever you are or are not.

Where's the rub? Cat got your tongue?
