clay versus a brick – v2

There was clarity in the difference

the different options

they each face

a pithy catchphrase

to frame the distinction

one static

and one dynamic

one clay

and one a brick.

The choices are stark

through that prism

a biased look

at their options;

seeing only through the lens

of expansion, modification

ignoring cost, ease of use,

as if there is only one truth

when there are many choices

in this life.

The Fact of the Matter Is

“The fact of the matter is”
an opinion.

How many times,
how many shows,
where experts state their belief
wrapped in that phrase.
Trying, as hard as they might,
to disguise their opinion
as fact. How I wish
the host would say,
“Isn’t that just your opinion?”
