Three Intrepretations of
Russell's Paradox



"R is the set of all sets which are not members of themselves."

I

We are members of each other
and part of an infinite plane
set in motion by fierce algorithms
and suppositions traversing the Suffolk Plains.

II

I have examined your member and decided
it is not correct. I therefore took it to
the Ministry of Education and exorcized
it from the list of accepted absurdities.

TOP SECRET:
       In Room 302B of the History Dept.
       among fossilized witch bones you are re-
       membered.

III

Let's set this straight - you never were p
art of my groin, nor do your in
finitely skewed contortions belong to my set.
My parameters are parabolic yet y
ours are ergonomic. Still, there is an admi
ration for your logic which transc
ends the totality of theorems w
here suppositions sup
posedly lie.
