Even If the Thing's On Sale . . .

The Kymograph

Chose
a word
in the dictionary.
Didn’t know what it meant.
Read and reread its unfathomably long definition.
Decided the description probably was in English, but after studying it,
frankly didn’t have the faintest idea if a kymograph were something I needed.


The dictionary said the instrument evaluates angular oscillations. (How did oscillations grow angles?)
But if I were flying around while measuring those loopy oscillations,
I’d be wishing that I’d already landed.
Therefore, I am almost positive
I don’t need
a silly
Kymograph.
