Singular

definition:
extraordinary; remarkable; exceptional: a singular success.

unusual or strange; odd; different: singular behavior.

being the only one of its kind; distinctive; unique: a singular example.

separate; individual.

Logic: a proposition containing no quantifiers, as β€œSocrates was mortal.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A Singular Proposition:

you think you are special, exceptional,
you think you are unusual, odd,
proud of it.

extraordinary, exceptional, unique.

maybe so.

Here then is my Singular Proposition:

On the day that you unconditionally
accept responsibility
for the care and feeding,
for,
yes, the very
survival*
of just
one single
other

on that day,
you may call yourself,
singular,
in every sense of the word.*

Propositions:
I am a singular.
I am mortal.

Affirmed.
