TRIAD

I. TRIAD

Looks binary, sure but consider that
reverse S in the middle—separating
and  joining, mediating one could say,
governing ruling.



First Church of the  Yin-Yanger, other
wise nothing but ongoing  battle of the
sets--what Gary H. might  call
           The 2 Economies
 
    II. PROFESSIONALISM
 
I talk it & talk it 
Risky business,
I say go for it:
the daring: Do !
Be a fool for
christ’s sakes.

Toward Frontiers
yet Unknown,
Follow your gnosis,
Stalwart pioneer: you
yr  drinking gourd. 

Walk it? O my my
O my no  I’m a
professor: talking
is my  walking.
 
      III     Free Play:
 Improvisation in Life and Art

My cousin: a fine painter & alcoholic.
 [ Narcotics cannot still the tooth
      that nibbles at the soul.
           Emily Dickinson ]
  He painted clouds and skylines.

“If I could just get my head out of
the way,” he’d  be telling me—often.
    “I could do something good.”

We  know this.  Some insist on writing
our first person pronoun in  lower case
(i)  so as to  down-play EGO.  And we
kick our own and each other’s ass for
our EGO ways.  What an Ego! we
proclaim. 

I watch myself side-wise out of the
corner of my I walking past windows
of department stores.

 “mirror” and “miracle” both derive
from  Indo European smei meaning
“to smile.”

I  watched baby sister playing peek-a-boo
with herself in themirror above the sofa:
hide & seek and a great grin as she caught
herself in the glass:  I see you

                Ha! Aha! Ah!

Steven Nackmanovitch (Free Play)
reminds us that in some sense we
must disappear to be creative. 

We know this  already. It's frustrating
that we can not.  Wherever Ego there
I am. 

For art to appear, we have to disappear. (51)

Tell me something I don’t already know.
Tell me how.
