Power of Negative

Dear American Literati, Humanists,
Dialecticians and Colleagues Across
the Curriculum.
 
Opposites. Opposition. Opposed.
 
I am opposed to you. I am opposed to
what you just said. I am opposed to your
deas. I’m sitting across from you—in
opposition. Juxtaposed. We can not
possibly occupy  the same position. The
closest we might could get, position-wise
(psychologically), say, is something like
two billiard balls—their point of contact. 
 
    
 
We are opposed. It’s the denial &  cover-up
that raises the Bozone layer. and makes us
stupid if politically correct.. We deny our
separateness or bemoan it, our alienation
as if it were unnatural. 
 
Why does this description of how-it-is— 
  
(all things great and small opposed to  
    each other naturally,—positioned in  
             opposition)
 
sound negative? Not negative descriptively
like the negative pole on your car battery, 
but negative emotionally, evaluative-ly.
 
Have you ever heard or used OPPOSITION
in a good and positive sense?  Rarely.
Opposites attract. I’ve got oppose able thumbs.
 
 So we sit together in opposition. opposed,
homeland security agency protecting our
position like family jewels.
 
The pattern of all my courses: to expose
why  does that word sound sinister?) what
culture  and convention deny and cover up.
(Why  does deny and cover up sound negative?)
 
What a resource: all that is rejected and negative
—banned, taboo, un-politically polite: what we
throw out and throw away because we don’t
approve of it, like it.
 .
All that we hate and reject and deny and cover:
a gold mine for the Aesthetic (aiming to describe).
for anyone wanting to try and see and understand
the whole, the whole system, the nature of
humanity. 
 
Need we argue?

(Why is argue considered “negative.”?  )
