(for Laura)
Slip slide tease & glide:
Articulate--double-edged
divide the beast at the joints
with minimum blood & gristle.
The IRONIST – "sayer."
any one speaking speaks
out of both sides of the
mouth ironically. .
What I say says about me
& except by convention
nothing about what I say
I'm saying about.
SCHOOL mode:
“leisure time” is what “school”
means in Latin, if Latin
still counts..
Scholarship: leisure time
activity; school: time
for a leisured class..
Do I have to spell
“leisure” out?

STUDENT mode.
We forget to remember that
“student” and “studious” are
words literally indicating anyone
“stunned”
“stupid,”
struck by the learning stick
and so: just right for “study.”
Stunning: prelude & prerequisite
to liberal art! The stupor!
The dropped jaw.
Ooo myyy gawd!
One of them, wonderfully stupid
and stunning, announced: “I just
learned this week, Sam: only 2
exclamation marks allowed per
composition!.”
Another told me:
“I learned a new sentence
in school today.”
SABBATICAL mode
Shabat = : a field left fallow for a year
(every 7th)-- a fallowship for crying out
loud. Do you know the difference
between fallow and productive?
Brood on it.
PRODUCTIVE:
Say what you are going TO DO.
DO IT.
SAY WHAT YOU DID:
aims & objectives: a thesis-driven “sabbatical,”
nothing fallow about it. Just like a syllabus.
Just like a course.
FALLOW:
(nevermind)
