Logically Speaking

By Stacey

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

If distance is the disjunction operator in our truth (dys)functional logic wedging itself between wishes with no truth-value (can wishes be true or false?) then the negation of our premises determine the falsity of our conclusion and the necessity of our separators preclude the validity of our argument. If we take our simplest, sentential components the atomic us, our syntax the spaces in our togetherness and build our compound sentences without commanding or questioning but wishing without truth then we still are dyadic, disjunct connectors both sides forming a solitary compound sentence in a conjunctive wish.
