The Lyrics
I think, therefore I be, said he.
Well, not quite so subjunctively.
To be means that one can express

and choose whether or not to pray.
To be or not, that’s other fare—
And Shakespeare, we ain’t going there.
Our focus is Cartesian. . .
a philo-phont artesian.
Bon mots were noted by René. . .
was wont to sum it up this way:
“Cogito ergo sum,” he’d say.
“Je pense, donc je suis,” en français.
