Contradictions In Terms

Trying to purchase the trust of a Taoist judge
or the wisdom of a sagacious teacher
is like trying to buy love from a healthy nutritionist,
s/he may be for rent to the highest bidder
at a sliding-fee designed to remain mutually unaffordable,
but most holistically
(and often huffily)
not for sale.
