1.
a riddle, the answer to which involves a pun or play onwords, as What is black and white and read all over? A newspaper.
2.
anything that puzzles.
isn't that a great word?
when everything really feels all mixed up and shaky, like you'll never get out
and you say
"conundrum,"
it feels (almost) impossible not to smile at the fact that
yes
you just said that
and though it may have gotten stuck to your teeth on the way out of your mouth
it doesn't matter what's black or white or read all over
or black and blue and red all over
barely beating
because you've got enough air left in your lungs to laugh at the absurdity
of your present situation
it feels about the same when you say
"God"
maybe a little different, a little more solemn
but sometimes that doesn't roll off the tongue as easily as it should either
