Still on the go

Rosa, who out strides us all, has yet to solve the problem of how to be two places at once. I tried to teach her the art – it’s really quite simple— but she kept citing the Law of the Excluded Rhinoceros, aka the Elephant in the Room, using that as a charm to ward off my nonsense. The whole problem comes down to a question of whole numbers and the number 2. It couldn’t be simpler. I explained that the number two is not two but one, so one can clearly be in two places at once, but she whistled up her pet Rhino and, as if out of the belly of the beast itself, told me it was all preposterous-- yet all the while she was sitting next to me, snorting her dissent. How can one be so smart and so clueless at one and the same time!? Like the rest of us sorry souls, she is still on the go.
