The Riddler (Not to be confused with the Hamburgler)

Archtype. Symbolism. Why?

Why not just pull back a veil and show?

Why couch in serpents and eagles; tin men and scarecrows?

You know why.

You’ve read this far haven’t you.

Because you love a good riddle, a quizzer if you will; and you will. Till the hens come home to roost you will.

The riddle answer?

I have no fucking clue.

Does that upset you?

Well life is full of upsetting matters.

Especially unsolved riddles.

But maybe it is solv-able.

This solv-able sense that you have; this is the key to understanding all of this hitherto nonsense; who uses three semicolons in a row?

But I digress, epistemologically, you are wired to think matters (i.e. riddles, quizzers, figuring out the Browns drafting rationale) are solv-able.

You my friend, possess a solv-ability-sense.

Use it.

Or lose it.

But then let’s say you lost it; wouldn’t your own solv-ability-sense want to get it back?

Perpetuating the whole matter (i.e. riddles, quizzers, figuring out the Browns drafting rationale) all over again?

You my friend are in a vicious cycle of love-a-riddle-solve-a-riddle-need-a-riddle-which-is-in-and-of-itself-another-riddle-to-be-solved-a-riddle…

You get the point.

...or do you…because if you don’t, IT’S A RIDDLE… perpetuating the whole matter (i.e. riddles, quizzers, figuring out the Browns drafting rationale) all over again?

With all this riddling going on, thank god I'm a Country boy.
