conclusions?

i've been counseled not to pay attention to the conclusions to which i'm supposed to jump today. which actually makes sense to me now. given the conclusions i tend to jump to. particularly the ones i've run through today.

i didn't even jump to them. i took a step, took stock of the roads i know, and the conclusions were there.

but i'm ignoring them. I AM IGNORING THEM. i've decided to ignore them.

so won't it be ironic if it turns out that the conclusion i am assiduously not jumping to turns out to be the truth, as opposed to the conclusion that i am steadfastly manufacturing for myself. if the latter is the conclusion i'm supposed to be wary of.

the question is, does the mandate count on manufactured conclusions?

does that make any sense at all?

i can't wait until i start to be sure of this whole situation about which i speak, because i want to talk about it. i want to talk about it a lot. but more importantly, i want it to be what it resembles.
