This and That

Something different today. I’m thinking

about this and that, This is today, that was

yesterday. This is what I hold for now in

my own hands, that is what may have been

held yesterday. This is my idea, that is what

you may be thinking or that is what was on

my mind an hour ago or yesterday. I am in

control of this and that is what has control

over me. Simple, you see, the difference

between this and that, in the eye of the be-

holder, changes all too frequently. If I hand

you this, this become that to me. It’s a matter

of semantics, the logical linguistic definition or

meaning. Explain this to me; I’ll explain that

to you later. Wait and see. This is for now.

As for that which will come eventually, we’ll

just have to wait and see. This which I expound

upon today will become that which is has

passed or is reserved for tomorrow. It’s an

either or situation. You can’t have it both ways.

This and That. Both are pronouns, and that's

about as far as it goes. Class dismissed.
