so even my fallacies are intellectual? what a lovely complement
hang on, was that a couplet? with your second line just being blank space (cue eerie music). if Morrisey's three line verses of unmatching meter or length are now couplets according to ee dummings (aka prufock), then even this reply is probably a couplet too. everything's a couplet according to where's waldo emerson. It's your doubling down on the stupid that's most funny
and not that I want to overburden that odd little mind of yours, but clauses with the modal "would have" already have a widely held descriptor for those that actually know and teach grammar. it's called "the conditional tense", and in this case it forms a conditional clause. Morrisey is not hypothesising an effect as you clumsily put it, he's describing a conditional: because old ∴ die soon. I say these things as you seem to lack many of the basic building blocks of grammar, and perhaps you want to work on those before you start tripping over poetical lexicology

You're both just as clever as each other.

I'd like to dislike you, brb, but everything about you is so beige it's hard to muster any feelings
it's not that you're stupid, nor that you say stupid things, at least, not with anywhere near the regularity of prufock, though when you do its often some odd aspergers-like missing of what's obvious to others. it's mostly moderate, reasonable, inessential and uninsightful, like a trainspotter cornering you at some party to explain rail gauges. you can obviously articulate a cogent argument, but it's far more fun to spar with prufocks seething jealousy and hatred
