No, this is not my function here, but you are catching on
quick, you can use a term, say Realism, a term that makes
Postmodernism's roots and vines but a birds nest on the
tree, but be careful my friend with terms like beat or
banana, oh the rhetoric, the argument, the conclusion matter
but little, terms, terms, define your terms and before you
have finished defining and defending your terms, another
term will fill the void and so it goes. 

There was a young soldier named Prentice
Who managed a dream for a dentist,
To make his job easier
He used anesthesia,
And drilled patients, non copus mentis.  

Inside the Pynchon Cartel
THEY know psychophysics so well
That each time THEY shit
THEY stop, measure it----
Its length, and its breath, and its smell.   

Now do I pray all those that have read what I have written
here on P-L, if
there be within it anything that pleases them, they thank
Our Lord
Jesus Christ, from Whom proceeds all understanding and all
goodness.
And if there be anything that displeases them, I pray them,
also, that
they impute it to the fault of my ignorance and not to my
intention,
which would fain have better said if I had had knowledge.
