Post-Modern Talent

Everyone who lives in Talent

is a post-modernist according

to the philologist, Carl Hicks.

“I should know,” Hicks said,

clicking his pen as he prepared

to write himself into a corner.

“Having been a biologist as

well as a wordsmith, you’ve

studied our DNA,” said Harry

Reems, adding a touch of cream

to his coffee.  “I agree you should

know.”  By now everyone in

Noble Coffee had pricked up their

ears:  “So my fraudulent friend,  tell

me what post-modernism means.”

“Of course I will not!” Hicks huffed.

“For it is knowing that nothing is

 as certain as it seems! Nothing!”
