"Can an Ape Create a Sentence?"

"Only after we subdivide 
These concepts into their component 
Mechanisms can we hope to
Empirically address these questions."

Indeed. Indeedy do. The ape,
Social, hirsute, and incompetent
At walking on hindlimbs for long,
Conceptualizes mechanisms

For subdividing components
Of his beetle-browed intelligence
Into flesh: mammalian, primate,
Subhuman, human, and superman.

Hmm. Lessee. Where am I? I am.
At least, I am as much as any
"I am" thing is among those things
That are. Ain't I? I'm not? I am so!

And so forth. That is, I must be,
Since I like to argue that I am.
I'll bet you think that you are, too,
So much so that you needn't argue.

But then, you aren't an ape like me,
Now, are you? No? I didn't think so.
I'm too full of my apishness
To admit you are its victim, too.
