Walking on 3 Legs (presbyterianism)
I’ve groan stupid & try to make virtue of it. I used
to be smart but it’s slip sliding away & I yield to
the temptation to see smart as stupid now;
stupid as smart: it’s smart to be stupid,
I say: stupid to be smart.
Watching the dancers compete. Hips don’t lie. Giving
it all & the judges say: work harder, bring it up a
level—or good bye. My middle-aged daughter
races mountain bikes downhill weekends
when she isn’t showing horses or
showing show-ers who show
horses how to show. I’m
walking on 3 legs.
Then, of course, you can make it more interesting

The content, topic, token
object & subject matter of
which I speak on any “this”
& “that” in linear sequence
bottom-line one word at a
time almost always veils
the eternal constellating
hierarchical grammatical
structure of relationship
governing conversation
in ways similar to how-
it-is watching a basket-
ball game sweeps me into
floor-action blinding me to
redundant game rules &
pattern structures always
shaping play like a tattoo
so that if I’ve seen one
I’ve seen them all but listen
critically anyway as if
This is It
& pay attention to words
knowing better: winning
wars & losing the battle
all over again & again..
