Conviction of Sin (I.E. es, esse - essence, being).

    Mission Impossible

(aka Liberal Art  & not to be
collapsed conflated or confused
with "the liberal arts":  those
majors, minors & capstone events)
 
    Walk on Water (W.O.W.)
                   or
     Walk on Eggs (W.O.E.)
 
No one loves an either/or, damnit
I prefer an in-between between
devilish details & deep blue sees.

“I don’t know the formula for success,”
a student rote me years ago, “But I
know the formula for failure:
 
    Try to Please Everybody. "
 
I’m damaged & damaging if I do
and damaged & damaging if I don’t:
damaged & damaging, damnit:
no doubt.
 
What a relief to know for sure.
It’s the denial & cover-up that
raises my bozone layer.
 
Put it on my tombstone:
               DIID  &  DIIID
