It's Self Referential Haiku Time!

Without sounding vain
How can I say how perfect
This new Haiku is?
First, five syllables
Then seven, then five. Bullshit.
Three lines of bullshit.
Is every sentence
of seventeen syllables
on three lines Haiku?

"He had decided long ago that no Situation had any objective reality:
it only existed in the minds of those who happened to be in on it at
any specific moment. Since these several minds tended to form a sum
total or complex more mongrel than homogeneous, The Situation must
necessarily appear to a single observer much like a diagram in four
dimensions to an eye conditioned to seeing its world in only three."
