Mission Impossibility

Dear Paula,,
 
I persist in addressing my bell
letters to you in demonstration
of  my un-professionalism. &
loyalty to Team Amateur.
 
     Free the Slaves
   (The Liberal Art)
 
Professionalism is the enemy
I nevertheless am constrained
to love, not because I’m pious
but,. practically speaking,
professionalism’s a  worthy
opponent plus dominant teamster
in The Business, and I wouldn’t
discredit or displace the PROS
other than to make  room for
GOT-TO-LOVE-IT: amo, amas,
amare: amateurism

Proper Foe Dichotomies & Hostile:
the values of Professionalism & the
values of Amateurism: hire and higher
education and I wouldn't diminish
either.  Put them in play is all.  


Sphinx kept Thebes in thrall,

hulking over the city until
anyone—might  could come
along and
answer its riddle.  
 
“Your goodness must have edge
to it”—says Emerson, “else it is
none” & “the doctrine of hatred
must be preached as the counter-
action of  the doctrine of love
when that pules and whines.” 
 
Ideally: dialectic: not a one horse
& buggy show, but also clowns to
the left of us! Jokers to the right.

 Pro and Amateur can just get along
          around here once
   professionalism
is recognized  as an over-bearingly
vampiric dominant patriarchal-like
permeating pervasive deadening
invisible one- hand -clapping monster
masquerading as Matrix & Mother
Nurturing us to be walking on eggs
WOE as opposed to walking on
water: WOW..

There's Resistance, of course (snicker)
by both Savvy and Conscientious.

Understandable: environmental. .

Freeing the slavish: A Mission Impossible
from God, to justify if not rectify the
relationship between Pro and Am
that they might Just Get Along.
Presumptuous & Grandiose.
 
Ah, but a man's reach should exceed
his grasp, or what's a college for?

An environmental issue,
don't you agree? Not a
matter of mere house
keeping.  Domo-logical.              

Deep ecological trans-
formational grammar
kind of a deal. Attitude.
Outlook. Frame of Mind
Set.Recalibration of the
homeostat-p-snickers
and snorts not with
standing.  .

xxxooo, Sam
