Samson Agonistes
Toward a Theory of Dialectic
It’s the journal not the destiny
that counts and whatever don’t
kill me is never the less a roaring
pain in the ass
If I take issue with the “given,”
that’s descriptively antagonism
—an agon defining protagonist
as protagonist & the antagonist
as antagonizing.
Or, as Dr. Mycoff advises,
"the problem with provoking:
you might provoke."
An agony.
