Idiots!
What’s it LIKE to be a ONE? (cont)
Waking Life?
I couldn’t stand it thank you very much. I like it dead,
nailed down, predictable: hard balls and mallet croquet’s
my game: some contingencies sure, but regulation wickets
& a level playing field.
I can talk live and lively even rigor and risk,
but only in the context of rules and regulations.
Alive is deadly. I need it dead. Nailed down.
Boardwalk the walk.
xxxooo, Necrophiladelphean.
***************
Idiolect:
That’s the word for how you talk and sound:
you personally. From IDIOS: personal, private,
no-2- snowflakes-alike uniqueness. “idiot,”
“idiocy,” and “idiosyncrasy” come from this.
Think about it:
the degree to which I draw on my “genius”
( personal, private & unique perspective,
imaginations, thoughts and ideas at the
expense of common sense): the more and
more IDIOT I am.
On the other hand—
The more I conform to the common sense,
the colloquial, the conventional, the less
idiosyncratic I am, the more SOCIAL
RIGHT THERE:
the binary dualistic dynamic in the middle
of which I am always caught: my idiocy on
the one hand, my “socios-cy” on the other
hand. And which hand am I going to salute,
identify with, serve?
Self-Reliance or Collective Conformity?
Idiotic Willfulness or Social Justice?
Independence or Common Cause?
idiocy and socios-cy
Addressing this opposition and the nature of
the DIFFERENCE and the possibilities of
RELATIONSHIP between the 2—
is what I call the Liberal Art.
Having said all that:
I want to be loved please..
See ME Hear ME Touch ME Feed Me
It don’t make common sense to be an
idiot: common sense makes common sense.
Why can’t we all Just Get Along?
Talk the talk.
xxxooo, E.A. Poe
