Sacred Cows (divine comedy)

SACRED COWS  (divine comedy)

"Anything sacred must be challenged to
the utmost or it will hide untold falsities."
                                         (Bill Branyon)

         And the profane, too.

"What isn't funny to you, can't be made into a joke?"
Inventory.  A colleague wonders. Good question for
liberal art, if not the liberal arts. It seems to  me.
Rich.  Generative.  What's funny in higher ed?
What is not?.(And shouldn't be)

Put it in play. 


Prerequisite to the Beginning of
                Liberal Art
 
My goal & aim in all classes is to under
cut & undermine &  confuse the issues,
subvert & tangle & twist what might
otherwise be measurable out comes,
taunt & tweak, mock & ridicule, spank
in manners of speaking so that all my
students won’t know whether they’re
coming or going,  selfish or unselfish
liberal or conservative, good or evil,
motivated or lazy: & down and down
we go, round and round we go, loving
the din that we spin, the spin that we’re  
in under that old  black magic called
language

Is this funny?  Or not?  I send it out to
my courses before they begin. Preludic.
Prerequisite to the beginning of the
practice of Liberal Art.  Put it in play.
