Amateur Standing

     

In General

I can polish a generality
or I can sharpen a specific
but I can’t do both at
once.

             Werner Heisenberg
  (reconfigured to suit my screed)

I love a good generalization and
the more general the better:
specificity generates resistance,
difference, diversity, variation on
an always disappearing theme.

“Define your terms, Sam,” my
colleagues insist and round and
round we go, down and down
we go, hating this skin I'm in,
loving the sin we spin under that
old black magic called love
