Anon 1: I'm dead.
Anon 2: You look remarkably animated for a cadaver.
Anon 1: No, inside.
Anon 2: Has a woman stolen your heart?
Anon 1: Ha, never!
Anon 2: Why, are you a virgin?
Anon 1: No, but I've only been with one woman legally.
Anon 2: Were the rest prostitutes?
Anon 1: No, I raped them.
[both laugh]
Anon 2: A fine wit you have.
Anon 1: And they say wit is a sign of intelligence.
Anon 2: Well, you've proven them wrong.
Anon 1: I'll have you eat your words.
Anon 2: I could only eat them if they were minced and I'm no butcher. But tell me, why are you so upset?
Anon 1: My dog died.
Anon 2: Was she a bitch?
Anon 1: Yes.
Anon 2: Then what's the problem?

Even rebel traditions are slavery. Don't get spooked.

i'm not sure i agree, i understand what you mean, that pursuing someone's greatness can be just as bad as pursuing individuality, but is that entirely true? is individuality a prison like living in the shadow of idols?

You're not only what you are, but what you are not yet. You don't have to become pure facticity until you're dead.

Use bigger words and write in verse but generally don't rhyme it because that would be too hard

you've posted this before, and you didn't take my advice. The only thing you're capturing here is the occasional witty banter. This alone does not make you Shakespeare. These quippy back and forths barely make up 5% of what Shakespeare actually is. Return when you've crafted characters like Falstaff or Lear, or kaleidoscopic lines like "O God I could be bounded in a nutshell and count myself a king of infinite space were it not that I had bad dreams," that go along with equally kaleidoscopic, pinnacle great works of art, or when you have crafted speeches like the one Othello gives to defend his love, or Polonius's again kaleidoscopic advice.

And, still. This back and forth pales to even one of Shakespeare's earliest: when Katherine meets Petruchio. There's something beyond their interaction: meaning. Where's yours?
