Jacques Derrida's Mother

Jacques Derrida was one of the most famous philosophers of the last century.

When Jacques Derrida's Mother

Embraced the concept 
Of  'wholly other'
She loosed her hold on life
In the past tense
And gave herself up to
The 'Metaphysics of Presence'.
 
How I love this new-found euphoria
Now there is no more aporia.
If only the world would grasp
The concept of deconstruction.
 
So she put down her knitting
Logged onto the internet
And signed up for a course on
Basic Moxibustion.
 
Such a great invention
This internet
But life is even better
Without unresolved tension.
 
Oh for a mother 
To understand her son.

for a mother to truly understand her son, she must have the metaphysical heart of non-presence and the spirit to understand its validity ...
