Biologists, I bet,
talk about Emergent Phenomenon
the way Hegelians talk about dialectic;
Xtians imagine their Robes&Sandals
Jesus; Monday Morning Quarterbacks
clarifying some Saturday Afternoon
Football Game & even Howard Cosell,
bless his heart, ringside critical thinking
Mohammad Ali stings like a bee:
reminiscent if not nostalgic—
done deal,
That was always then.
This is NOW of course
of a different color: emerging
emergency dialectic like holy smokes
biff & bam, playful opposition remission
unaccomplished bringing IT on the ouch
be ooff here damnit now moment of
consummation yes greatly Yes to
be desired, no?
No no no: not NOW—always then
unless we might could turn IT up,
the contraries & conflict here & now
(talking school mode not yr church or
state) keeping IT in play and let no
team win.
Tie their tales together in naughts &
toss them over the clothesline with
the acquaintance rape T-shirts &
watch them tear their guts out,
you got a problem with that,
a better idea? Collision and clash
of ideas, images, memes mothering
invention. Or what's a college for?
Look for emergent values & phenomena
right under our very gnosis, local food
crying out loud in manners of
speaking so to speak, as it
were if not as is, merely
academics. .
