The Past of a Predicate


this was all very bizarre,
       something didn't quite add up,
              and then we were up to our ears in miscalculations
                       but we kept crying de ja vu,
                              as people often do when they are unable to explain the unexplainable

when you tell people something is askew,
        and they ask you why you say foul,
               and when you answer a question with a question,
                      it does not make you any wiser than you were before,
                                in fact, they always, without fail, felt nonethewiser

but then you had to admit that nonethewiser is not a single word,
         and that you did not know the meaning of all definitions you recanted to us
                 and you suffered from reveries of the beforehand,
                        until you vomited from it all,

from the de ja vu
