Consistency Paradox

Two, or more words
A sentence — is inherently
Inconsistent

A single word
Is self consistent
Even if contradictory

Logic attempts the task
Of determining
Internal consistency
Of sentences — inherently
Inconsistent

Consistency is never
Found, in a sentence
But only

In mind
That founds inconsistent
Approximations
As consistent

Writing or speaking
Nullifiable
Even incomprehensible
Strings of words

While expecting
There to be reception
Transmission
Across minds
Of consistency

Is either naiveté
Or an act of faith
