It's Not Easy Being a Phenomenologist

         PHENOMENOLOGIC
 
Every class day I pick up a packet of  MOP:
Mind on a Page phenomena. Phenomenal! 
Points of view of a diverse nature.
(I sometimes celebrate diversity)
 
Freeze-dried lifeless potential: all of it waiting
resurrection, say (in manners of speaking) dry
bones, as it were, ready to walk around between
my ears: me, a miracle worker raising  dead in
accord with my wont and natural selection.
 
I can’t raise it all.
 
It’s LIKE walking thru  (“per”) a field or  mall.
Some of IT  provokes—crow flying off a stalk,
skin tight jeans, groundhog shuffling to the river,
corn dogs. All the REST I ignore—ignore-ant.,
dead to me for all practical purposes, the rest of
the whole.
 
The MOP packet is rich with possibilities for .
Argumental Studies & Leadership Pogroms:
common sense and banter,  whimsy and wrangling,  
rolling of the I’s and smiling disputation working
up maybe a shared shine: an argos, golden fleece
as it were for the moment or what’s a college for?
 
A great yawning gap, gape, abysmal chaos  between
thought & talk, talk & walk, life-of-the-mind  & the
body politic. Consider the richness of thought and
idea and image and expostulation each MOP packet
contains.  Compare it to the Talk-In-Air of the later
half of each whole class.  
 
What’s the difference?  What’s the relationship?
 
The Kingdom Within? The Kingdom Without?

The Phenomenologist aims to tell IT like IT is
but  recognizes his natural selection is conditioned
by cave, bubble, culture, custom, convention,
convenience & personal growth & agenda—so that
it’s hard, maybe impossible to tell IT like IT is—
other than reduce it to bias, belief prejudice,
conviction: a crime, really, a violation of the 
hole.
 
Let’s say IT’s impossible.  Safer that way.
The violent, nevertheless, bear it away.
 
It can’t be helped.  Admitted—yes (confessed), but that’s
not that easy either.  It’s not easy being a Phenomenologist.
A liberal art really. Life long sport. Trying to tell IT like IT is.
Mission Impossible.

Good to know, keep in mind.
