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!
