The Tyranny of Common Sense

The Tyranny of Common Sense.
 
  Sir Ken Robinson’s phrase.
 
You might wonder how it could be
said tripingly over the tongue as mere
description with no threatening overtones

Tyranny-of-common-sense as common
as common sense  like mosquitoes at
dusk,  bad weather,  Sunday summer
traffic moving through Cape Cod
rotaries & roundabouts: 

Now you go. Now I go.
Now you go. Now I go.
 
We can only imagine the nonchalance
which might acknowledge common
sense as tyranny.  .
 
“Ah! that damned common sense!
      Whattaya gonna do! ”
 
No one  easily blames  the common sense,.
its liabilities eclipsed if not occluded by
convenience & defended by all who
nourish & cherish its  inert
inviolability  .
 
Stay seated while others rise to clap;
don’t  wear  bicycle helmets or carry
bottle water; handle brass keys and
Venetian blinds with  impunity, let
your dogs run unleashed on Jones
Mountain. We might could be a little
less professional here, some what
more irrational if we mean  to tighten
retention & innovation and at the
same time ratchet-up the rigor.
