Stage, Curriculum.
Crime & Punishment:
Crying Theater! Theatre!
in a Crowded Fire.

Sure, Theater's a ”liberal art”
—the
THE
in theatric means view:
aesthetic: how-IT-is,
IT, I said. Place for
seeing, as Ron says.
As opposed to not-seeing:
As opposed to anesthesia
anesthetic, anesthetized..
All the whirl a stage and we:
hypocrites actors, players,
our masques the personae
what a person is: a sound-
thru, magaphonic. Now
here this! Personality.
Theater is LIKE what
Howard Cosel is to
Mohammed Ali:
commentary.
Look! Look”
Mohammad in the
ring: b o x x i n g.
REAL Theatre R us in converse
action: hypocrites answering to
each other—our back & forth,
our role playing. Drama.
Theatrics: liberal art opposed to
& not to be collapsed, conflated
& confused with a liberal art--
what we major and minor in.
xxxooo, Sam

ReplyDeleteI supposed if Michelle Bachman and
her running mate were as delighted, that would be cool. Awesome, actually.
