Colleagues, My Colleagues
"People are more important than
ideas, son" my good old man told
me. And he was right & I agree;
but I still prefer ideas. Especially
in school mode.
Every utterance has 2 agenda:
1) surface: taking care of business
(housekeeping)
2) deep: negotiating relationship
(home economics)
(Steven Pinker: The Stuff of Thought)
Look ma: no hands.
See me jiggle dance!
(And you maybe thought it was all about
instability, health care for the aged,
joblessness, advising students, general
education, turtles and rabbits, my dogs
and cats, garden tomatoes and squash,
landscape where I live, anguish at the
idiots across the aisle and you maybe
thought this song was about you. )
Me.
It’s about me.
See Me Hear Me Touch Me Feed Me
Like if not Love/Hate me—honest.
How could it be otherwise?
(It can’t be said. Indiscrete.
If you say I said this I
must say: I didn’t.)
