E said: 'I found it overtly sentimental'.
A replied: 'People say "sentimental" too often as offensive'.
E slapped A to the ground, raised right palm down:
'People are the main problem of this planet'!
A, shaken, stood & directed its retort at an over-angle:
'Sentimentality is an immanently visceral, carnal gut feeling!
It cannot be mitigated, nor suppressed!
Which is not to say it cannot be repressed ...it can:
A person can always train themselves for more ignorences'.
E paused, & asked: 'Who wants a lightbulb that last forever?
Imaginary great grandchildren may pass it on, save a little'.
A walked away. E sat down, & ate the lightbulb.
NEH, 2007.
