Mothering Inventon


 
Is it possible to talk about confusion with clarity? 
Well,  of course  It’s what we do: reduce confusion
to clarity and the irrational to the rational and
nonsense to sense and stick in our thumb,
pull out a plumb and say o what a good
boy am I, or girl if the case may be.
 
A violence and reduction to reduce confusion
to clarity because  then it’s clarity and not the
confusion I mean to explore.  Let them other
courses wallow in their clarity..
 
Can I imagine talking about confusion confusedly?
That would be like going into a cave to consider
darkness and leaving my pen-lite miner's cap
turned off. Curse the candle. 
 
If I were to theorize about All Wet with Joe Fish,
he’d be clueless unless I could  hook him  by the
gills and heave him onto the dock for some
contrast and comparison and reflection..
 
Catfish are caught that way  Arm and hammer.
