oddities lobster looks
Poetry is not efficient. If you want to learn how to cook a lobster, it’s probably best not to look to poetry.

And if you want to know what it’s like to be that lobster in the pot, that’s in poetry too. Dean Young

oddities feelings enlightenment
It is a special kind of enlightenment to have this feeling that the usual, the way things normally are, is odduncanny and highly improbable.

This feeling of universal oddity includes a basic and intense wondering about the sense of things. Alan Watts
oddities exactly-is effort
Consider the oddity of those drug commercials on television. Fifteen seconds of the purported therapeutic effort, followed by about 45 seconds of a rapidly muttered list of horrific possible side effects. When the ad is over, I can't remember a thing about what the pill is supposed to do, except perhaps cause nausea, liver damage, projectile vomiting, a nasty rash, a four-hour erection, and sudden death. Sudden death is my favorite because there is something comical about it being a side effect. What exactly is the main effect in that case? Relief from abdominal bloating? Charles Krauthammer
