Aliquid Stat Pro Aliquo
Literal ontology is not what it used to be.
Why, there isn't even a text on this page
(at least not until an ideal or implied reader perks up)!
Indeed, postcolonial discourse is no more.
Constricted within these passages
This premature reading comes too close.
Forget any affective or intentional fallacy...
Such old criticisms may have applied to the Western Canon
But we're way past that now.
Insofar as The Sign is concerned
One must needs muster
The mastery of metonymy.
Ecce Signum
Arbitrary equivalence doesn't add up.
There's more than meets the eye to our inference.
Something stands for another?
Maybe so; yet what are 'things' in themselves?
You can't write about perception without referring to its percept!

Incendiary Innuendo ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Incendiary Innuendo
She gives her all to all takers
Putting the ho into glory hole.
Flaunting titty tassels, booty shakers
Capture desires as they twirl 'round the stripper pole.
Lurid voyeurs gawk at flashy exhibitionists.
Eros' arrows are fledged and fly forth
Like busy bees set loose at the florist's.
Female honey makes male members point True North!
Filthy sleazebags? Perhaps.
Some may be better off 'neuter'.
But look to yon red light, dapper chaps...
Petite Lolitas—don't legally get any cuter
