Facebook: Virtual Groves of Academe

No-Hide Park

A few of us facebook fulminators  unapologetically
expose our private parts and partialities on a regular
& extensive basis, multiple orgasmic  so to speak, in
hopes of being liked, really liked: why else would we
present ourselves--is there any other motive?

Express yrself, we say because like a  dog licking
hisself we can and it feels good. Maybe there are
other reasons why but I bet you five dollars you
can’t get any more fundamental than that—what
I just said.

"We're all Crazy Egos, hungry for Love, says
Sherwood  Anderson. Or we're all hungry egos crazy
for love. Any one can improve these terms   A good
thing, yes? Need we argue?

Or: modest maybe--shy and embarrassed— maybe
even humble: we present and hold  up for view the
parts and  partialities of OTHERS. Representatives
representing  our Selves. Standing-fors: our personal
scapegoats carrying the burden of our meanings and
significances.

"Here's what and how I would say it if I could
say it like this," I say.

Goodies scold. Slap their heads in consternation.
Are  amazed. Aren't believing IT. Wonder what-
the-hell?  and why -don't they? and there-ought-
to-be-a-law!  Pants in a wad. Well-I-never.

Goodies love company. Sing  in the choir.  Amen
corners. Oh, you know how it is with  goodies—
wannabe  good so  bad they can't  afford the
 bad-it-takes.  Pity.

My Empathy & Compassion:  I'll pray for you,  hold
you in the light, bless your heart, my thoughts and
prayers go out wishing you well, keeping my fingers
crossed knocking on wood, lighting a candle and having
happy feelings.

I’m a troll, no doubt.  Always looking to undermine the
pontification going on.  Burn the bridges: it’s the bridging
bridging that’s the destination, not the crossing over.  Or,
to mix meta force:  we’re all blind wise acres holding on to
one piece of the  elephant in the room.  Stand and deliver.
You say it’s garden  hose. I’ll say whisk broom. You say tree-
trunk, I’ll announce:  big old leaf. How else get it all together
without diminishing the parts?
