Grade Reduction for Late Work

  Grade Reduction for Late Work
 
“What is it to be here but to want.”
                              Rick Barot
 
Lack
Need
Want
Desire & so
the poor we
have with us
all ways
 
     Liberal Art  in Jensen 206

We went round and round trying to
find a reason for not finding a reason
for our anxiety.   Sky rocket’s delight.
 
A constellation of exclamation,
assertion, digression, transgression,
returning again and again to the
initial point of departure and origins
of our converse-action:
 
      Anxiety is FEAR
      looking for a cause,
      a reason why,
      a because & affect
      an explanation
      a scapegoat
      some demon
      so as to shore up my
      homeland security
      SYSTEM—bells & whistles
             sirens and
 
Perfect—as far as I’m concerned.
SCHOOL MODE: how this kind of
argos-argument  will unveil
            (apocalyptically)
the inadequacies of our language,
discourse, belief & disbelief systems
and bring us to a state of  paralysis,
aporia: no pores, portals, doors,  exit:
stunned & stunning stupidity:

    just RIGHT for study and
   student-dom, or what I call 
  Liberal Art as  opposed to, as
  differentiated from, not to be
  confused with those  vocational
  disciplines you guys major &
  minor in, poster child and
  capstone experienced  penalized
  for late papers like you oughta
   or how else get it to work.
