Never could shave with it--
sliced skin and excuses,
the slender bits which
slid through the vent:
confrontation escapees
with enviable invisibility.
Would that I could slip so easily
from his grasp
(discussion, he calls it)
slither away
I am less than interested in reasoning out the empirical validity of heuristics.
I'll send it simple telegram:
I don't love you. [STOP]

Wow, nice take on Occam's razor. I thought it was the hardest of all the concepts to write on, but you made it look easy. I don't have any suggestions. Your images are powerful, your last line is like a kick in the gut. Bravo! Thanks for entering.

Something about Occam's Razor has always appealed to me, When I saw it as one of the topics, I didn't hesitate. Thank you for your kind words.
