I am a conman
And I warn you in advance
that I am now attempting to con you.
So, because I have openly warned you,
I am an honest conman.
But that is not possible,
for to truly be a conman
I must be dishonest
You are now witnessing a literary miracle
I always use lies as vehicles to tell the truth
and so I never tell the truth.
Actually...I’m lying. Ha!
What you are seeing in this post
Is a modern 'koan' I have created.
Koans are used by Buddhists
To confound their sense of reason
and put them into a state of inner-silence
