A Good Idea

Coincidentally Contiguous
or
Non-Einsteinian Relativism


a ‘Bad’ Idea
gets a quick approving
slap on the butt
and takes off fast;

a ‘Good’ Idea
gets its bottom patted
comfortingly (several times)
by the ‘Formal Soothing Hand
of (Fickle?) Approbation’
and glides away.

From either
of these ‘Ideas’,

n o t h i n g
results.

Whereas,

in capitals similar
to those

m i s s i n g
at the start of
Wittgenstein’s
‘The Big Typescript’

HOW TO
TART UP
APPLES

(headlined
in a lucent, gloss-red box)
on a
magazine cover,
facing lined-up shoppers
at a checkout
counter,
gets picked up,
taken home
to turn into food.

Question is:
will the food
produce, in its consumers
‘good’ ideas?
(and who … would decide who
would be the better judge
… of what these ‘good’ ideas
might consist of?),

‘Good’ being a concept
that only ‘really knows its place’
when its weak back is butted up against a rock
of something strong that tout le monde
thinks heinous

& is there really such a place?
