ON THE NOMENCLATURE OF THE FROG
It's a simple thing really - words defining image,
concept caught up in words. That, and all the rest
of the tightly-woven and dramatic stuff a community
of scientists alone would know, brings us to the
next point...how sure are we of what we claim to know?
Bestial rotation? Unencumbered directional impulse?
Nerve endings aligned with vision and sense? A
rounded perception of depth and distance? How do
we presume to know all these things by only a simple name?
It is, after all, (is it not?) but the conjecture of gaggles of
men which has indecisively decided upon our world.
Interpretative Dream? Interpretive Dance?
Is there really any difference out there at all?
...Or are we to proud to say no?...
