Necessary & Sufficient

4/22/2025


I. (necessary)


Tick tock

let's see where you land,

let's see what bucket of

try-hard suits you best.

Let's see just how

wheat and chaff

can be sorted, thrashed, polluted

what undignified mess

you've made, and lo!

that twisted, wrangled bend

of Gaussian bell 

will suit you fine, just fine—

consider it home,

make yourself comfortable.

a lovely little quadrant for 

your ilk.


II. (sufficient)


there is, believe it or not, a bullion pot

at rainbow's end.


don't strain for it. rookie mistake.

the horizon can and will play tricks, be warned.
