THINKING
(a recursive algorithm)

Drawing distinctions
on the one hand;
relating distinctions
on the other hand &
what’s the difference
on the one hand &
what’s the relationship
on the other hand?

So…what?

Talking on the one
hand and talking about
the talking on the other
hand and what’s the
difference on the one
hand & the relationship
on the other?

So what?

Undergraduate
Research on the
one hand and
8 a.m. course
scheduling
inadequacies on
the other hand
and what’s the
difference in
kind, and on the
other hand
the relationship?

So?

Are these questions
genuinely stupid
(stunning & just right
for study) or merely
stupid; & what’s the
difference on the one
hand and the relationship
on the other &
so what?

Walking the Talk

At 70 I bark at both
ends such a belly
ache & hullabaloo
as might raze dead
& deadly but won’t.

No cure.

Only remediation:
talk my asses off
talk like a sonov
agun: talk till the
cows come home.
Talk about the
talking talking.
about the talk.

Just talk!

Expecting emerging
phenomenon to spin
off a whole, more
than parts pooting
possibilities yet
unknown: it don’t
matter the content
topic subject object
matter—mere tokens.

Just talk!

Talk talking counts
—in air, on paper,
across the screen:
not so solid state
semaphoric spirit
smoke signals rising
from the caves in
always stormy
whether.

The drift counts,
sending up signal
not the signal itself
but the sending-up:
genius sparking at
both ends breaking
a mighty wind
in aspiration
to conspire.
