you know full well there is no longer any topic here<br/>
that we could start to get off of<br/>
or onto<br/>
<br/>
it is true we used to have a topic<br/>
& it was a rather good one <br/>
i might add<br/>
<br/>
but by popular demand &or indifference &or misunderstanding <br/>
our express focal point has long since been disregarded <br/>
& our guiding principle compromised <br/>
into whatever anyone likes<br/>
<br/>
that <br/>
is now our topic<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
& it was i myself who took the lead in dispelling such pretentions & <br/>
delusions as we formerly had <br/>
of being topical<br/>
<br/>
but only because acting & speaking truth actually matter to me<br/>
<br/>
not because i no longer appreciated our topic <br/>
nor because i no longer appreciated the truth<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
so <br/>
to keep strutting this habitual pro forma apology & delusion as if they <br/>
were still normal or meant anything<br/>
well it seems increasingly to exponentially ridiculous <br/>
with the passage of more & more time & miscellany<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
what does anybody think we are doing here anyway<br/>
<br/>
if you want to be random why not just be it<br/>
<br/>
& no need to justify or feign being off anything ever again</div>
