The 3rd Economy

Dear Ones (For the Sake of Leisure-Time Argument? )

The 3^rd Economy

                       Liberal Art

Seemingly fiddle-de-de  while Rome yearns, in

manners of speaking: how else address holes

in the roof while the moral majority  sweep

the stairs, clean living rooms, unplug the johns,

re-arrange cupboards and lawn chairs after

the grand deluge?

                  Juxtapositions

Position stuff in close  proximity but  don’tmake
connections or bridge gaps or buildbabble towers
or spell IT out….IT, I said.

The word “juxtapose”  emerged  from college

History of Art class where it was used & abused

like “sustain ability”: juxtapose this,  juxtapose that;  

“JUXTAPOSE”:  the notion stood  out more than
what ever  juxtapose was juxtaposing  like the back-

ward S that regulates however-it-is yin and yang   

might be said to just get along so transparently

tucked-in to the re-presentation I might not pay it

any mind  until I do & then it seems more interesting

than either one  or the other: the economy of yin,
the economy of yang.

                           

I’ve come to make it a pedagogical practice:

juxtaposition. A 3rd economy, slapping stuff on
the board,ripping samples from text & context,
putting amess of stuff in  proximity but not giving

away the punch lines: no  connections, no bridges,

no towers of relationship; all links just dying to be

made and it’s the MAKING  that counts, yes?

Provocation: call waiting for response.

Making connections, once made: dead.
If I have to  make them for anyone else,
well, dead meet iswhat I’m serving up,
robbing you  of your a Ha & EUREKA

                 I get it. I got it.
