Vagueness is the most triumphant quality of language Definitions offer other words for the word in question Each word cannot offer more than other words that are not equivalent Equivalence is the core of clarity: this is that and they are the same Words offer none of this clarity; this is not even this If words, cheap constructions of letters, are cursed with vagueness What makes people think people have any more equivalence As if a word that cannot even support itself could identify a person Or be used to put more than one person into a category Absurd; you don't even know how old your cells are And you think you can say what you are, what they are, what I am Next time, instead of wetting your pen and cleaning your binoculars Break open the inkwell and muddy the lens; you'll see much more vagueness
