Would I consider you a hypocrite
for expecting me to do now what I
expected you to do then, despite your
having not done it? What if you proclaimed,
in one of endless debates pretended
while vacationing separately (some days
it makes perfect sense, others it seems strange
to have been wired identically
without correspondingly having been
wired correspondingly), your verdict
more for “might as well” spirit than with real
conviction, while, gravely mediating
pique and an attempted sublimation
of pique, I (as I’d then proclaim) did not?
