A stream of consciousness,
As deeply philosophical
And wittingly succinct
As Plato would suggest—
Taut and streamlined,
Delivered with equal measures
Of eloquence and cynicism,
Of fecund elucidation
And resonant aspiration.
Not every dinner conversation
Needs such enigmatic,
energetic discourse.
Perhaps the weather will suffice?
