Alma Matrix



Alma Matrix

Swimming amniotic in a Guttenberg
Galaxy  all soaking wet in our Post
Literate  Neo Oral whelm so permeate
that it’s  impossible to define damp let
alone  dry.

Or, say: canary in a cage watching our
Fading Mind Shaft End Days never the
less: “Long Live The Bookocracy.

Tweeting.  Twittering.

Thesis: Film is the perfect capitalist
commodification of the vital,
dymanic,  and communal
arts of live theatre.
Discuss?

A colleague posts this on Facebook
because he can, and generates a string
of converse action:  mind on a screen,
sure, but oral in nature  & Hyde Park
in spirit  Soap box at my finger tips.

My students are massively more media
literate and tech savvy than me and I
recall the illiterate  construction magnate
on TV confessing he could succeed  in a
 literate world by subterfuge. Faking it.

Helen Keller never saw a word in her life
or heard one and never the less graduated
Harvard, though they called it Radcliffe
at the time.
