Ideal: A Game

That's what words do: they compare;
one could not have a dictionary that only defined
a single word; what would you use to make that
string of letters meaningful without other words;

that's our sentence, we language mediators:
we are stuck in an infinite regression
eating our vestigial, invisible tales,
wreaking havoc on reality with unrealities

specially designed to get to a particular end,
a concept that only exists in the imagination
of beings that use words in place 
of less ideal faculties.
