The Superintended

DEFINITION.

Pataphysics is the science of imaginary solutions

​

It is

according to rumor

a "Dutch" thing to put mayonnaise

on your "French" Fries

​

There is also "Talk" these days

that some words are being

Capitalized and

"Quotationed"

for no reason whatsoever

​

I chanced upon a man

(to say "accidentally" is redundant)

adrift in a boat in the middle of a lake

Upon inquiry he assured me this was as planned

He had dreamed as a young boy

of getting out of the house he lived in and sailing away

Lived his entire life in pursuit of that particular goal

What happens after that will take care of itself

​

There will never be a storm in Ireland

named "Patrick"

Too cliche'

​

There was another man

It's always a "man"

Half the human race is not men

but if there is an example to be displayed

a lesson to promulgate

It's by a man

​

This particular man failed

So he went and did something else

​

Pataphysics passes easily from one state of apparent definition to another.

Thus it can present itself under the aspect of a gas, a liquid or a solid.

Alfred Jarry
