My Courses are a JOKE

The word EX-QUISITE literally means
from the Quest (or question)


The word EX-CELLENCE: (view) from
the hill, from the column.


In those days, I learned what great conversation
was, where
you didn’t know what you thought
until you said it,
and somebody was going to
add that missing piece that was going to be the
jigsaw
puzzle piece that they found on the floor
under your chair,
and they just handed it
to you, and, whoa, there it is: the Oregon Trail,
right before your very
eyes. Verandah Porche

My courses are a JOKE.

Indo European: yekto speak;
in Latin: jocus: joke – “jewel,”
“jocose,” “jocular,” “jeopardy,” “juggler”


I mean them to be anti-thetical:
antagonistic to all courses which are
NOT JOKES. You guy’s courses are
SYMBOLICAL
(literally: thown
together). Mine are, I intend to be:
DIA-BOLICAL
(thrown across.)

Both kinds of “throwing” (if I don’t
privilege one and under-privilege
the other) offer always the promise
of the PARA-BOLICAL,. the parable
and para-noetic (if not paranoid)

the Oregon Trail,
right before
your very
eyes.

Exquisite. Excellent.
