dilemma, conundrum, paradox

Dilemma, conundrum, paradox are all
different things. Dilemma sounds like
a yogurt of a less-popular flavor, like
lemon, or lime. There's a lip-smacking
sourness to it. Conundrum on the other hand
sounds like a fun drum to bang on, even
if you're not getting anywhere, you know
there's either a solution or it's no
problem.

Paradox, on yet another hand -
which suggests you've brought someone else
into it, a third hand to hold
the thing you can't make sense of,
but everywhere you test it, seems

true

despite the tension of its
contradictions.
