"on a scale of one to ten",
is a false conventional use of the mind.
comparative truth is a three card monte,
as a ruse, a shill, or a trick.
nothing like dulling one's senses
to feed the mouth of awareness.
for conclusion's titillations are,
as if all of experience is reducible
to memories impressionistic still life photo shoot.
"on a scale of one to ten",
is delivered on a tonal scale of questioning.
and so, the feast of reductionism is on.
how coarse, how gross, how blatant,
to get to a number.
as if value as a slave,
stands there,
and gets assigned.
as one revels in new ownership,
as if opinion becomes the brand . . .
