FERDINAND IN HIS LABORATORY

There stood Saussure in his Laboratory.
Teaching Linguistics as he best knew how.
Along with his Students, with their Wisdom,
Alacrity and Ceremony

For they have Traditions  they have Mercy
They know Not what to Teach yet means or May
To Instruct is to Love for all Ages
To Learn is to Know it in its stages

For Discourse is what Discourse Intends
A Message and a Messenger their Course
Look at me watching what you have Unknown
It Points me toward its Own Direction

Where Meaning Upends from a Vehicle
Drinks between two Mouths in a Syllable
