[^] Woe unto me: this meat-over-bone package a mind-soul inhabits, to which a thin film of awareness of a fictional construct of temporal continuity, known as Bill, adheres like slime-mold tracks on concrete ... as of now is 988 moons of age.
What greater relief from the vicissitudes of time falling like half-frozen honey off a spoon can I have than unburdening myself, here, with a purgative confessional sonnet, written for the occasion. Call it "the weight:"
i shoulder this weight of pretending to carry
a burden of imagining i know more than i know
i trudge on with lead feet through wilderness,
my ignorance disguised beneath harlequin rags
i burn the altar of confessed doubt: i poison
uncertainty's sweet wine with tart conviction
i collude with you to speak of love, as if we
once understood what unselfishness really was
i tell everyone i am not just a circus parade
instincts put on as dogville's bigtop goes up
i'm held to the ground by sincerity's gravity,
crushed under the juggernaut of necessary lie
you won't wonder why i whisper after you hear
the bald-faced lies echoes say behind my back "the weight" copyright 2019, Bill Woodruff, published under the CPOPL (CodeProject Open Poetic License).

I'm no poet.
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

"half deconstructed" ? take a cue from a master: Quote: It is not me who is the clown, but this monstrously cynical and so unconsciously naive society, which plays the game of seriousness in order better to hide its madness. Dali

Fans of Douglas Adams may remember Wonko the Sane, who took Dali's sentiment to the extreme.
I'd explain it, but it's mind bendingly silly, and Adams does it best.

Only Bill would have a poetic license which takes up a full shelf in the Library of Congress.

I sent them a poem, but, they sent it back; said it was "too heavy"

So anyway, Bill, how's life treating you?
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

Thanks for asking ! It's mainly on an out-patient basis, electroconvulsive on odd days, waterboarding even.
cheers, Bill

The choice of unit depends on the extent to which context requires lubrication

The getting is not done, but the widespread intervocaliation between w and b apparently comes from latin:
ON b AND w IN LATIN AND ROMANCE

Did you mean intercalation ?

The correct term is phonemic substitution g<->k d<->t and b<->w . Happens mostly at the beginning of words or intervocalic.

He works for me now. I'm making him stack things. It doesn't matter what the things are. It's all very keynesian.
I think tomorrow we'll try BBs. Or sand.

Thanks!
Not so much a job as a freelance writing gig that I'll be working on occassionally.
In fact, I know that makes some other CP members and me colleagues
