Autopsy


Bones, 

Not enough evidence here, I’m afraid 
We’ll have to go back to where 

We last saw our bodies 
Alive and kicking.

  1. To paraphrase Zippy the Pinhead, I can't remember any more -- are we inside or outside the box?

  2. Maybe he can't remember anymore but I bet Zippy will never be caught going in circles!

  3. That's the beauty of the mind of Zippy -- he doesn't worry about things he can't control -- and of course he can't remember going in circles because he's never not been going in them, nor able to do anything about it in any case.

    I think he's influenced by Lao-Tzu: "If your boat is spinning in circles in the whirlpool, just close your eyes and think about your next trip to the Mall and let the ripples wash over you."

  4. Or maybe by Seferis?

    Unprofitable line

    What's wrong with the rudder?
    The boat inscribes circles
    and there's not a single gull.
