How do you throw a pot without clay
First trash the equipment
Then forget everything you ever thought you knew
About pots clay and throwing

A battle ensues every time
A person encounters another person
Other events take place simultaneously true
But an unavoidable concomitant of meeting is battle

This discomfiting truth results in part
From the inability of people to state the truth
Baldly nakedly without figure or embellishment
The word every for example is a metaphor

As are life truth person nakedly and metaphor
All metaphors
And metaphors do not conceal truth but on the contrary
Represent a mundane gesture toward revelation

Nor are figure or embellishment necessarily blameworthy
Participants potentially in a decorative decorum
But people do not typically content themselves with beauty
But demand instead such truth as they themselves possess
