Do You Love Me?

Pedagogery & The Liberal Art
 
  Tell all  the truth   but tell it slant
         success in circuit[ry]
                  lies…E.D.
   
         Faux Feedback
               (because forced)
 
      
 
      DO YOU LOVE ME?
 
Can you see how that  question doesn’t work?
 
There is a realm of communication where
   If I Have to Ask:   Forget About It!
 
Ask & I shall receive  somewhere in the ball
park at least but not really what I lack,
want, need, desire.
 
“Yes” don't satisfy.  “No”—neither; of
               course not.
 
Do you love me? Don’t answer that
terrible question. Monstrous!
 
SIMILARLY in the business of  liberal art
(not to be  confused with liberal arts): I

yield to temptation, EXPLAINING my

madness;  saying what  it is I’m doing,

engineering,  scheming, manipulating my

meta hodus &  it falls into the same category:

collapsing,  conflating & confusing a possible

emerging  issue  because  it destroys the

guess-what environ-mentalism needed to

frame, nourish, grow a  liberal artist. 
   
                 GET IT?
                  (Eureka)
 

     Have to tear the plastic off the
    strawberry patches, rip-off the
    cover-ups: kindergarten variety
                 apocalyptic
 
What I’m saying right be-here-now can’t actually

be said without screwing  up what I’m  attempting

to bring off:  talking about it without actually talking
about it without giving away the trick,  slight of hand

—joke. 
 
      A man walks into the
      Rolls Royce showroom,
      kicks some tires and
      inquires: “How much
      do you charge for one
      of these deals?”
 
How’m I doing? Ruins it to ask and yet  I do I do

and if I can’t be at home with  paradox & contra

addiction I  should stick  to liberal arts for crying

out loud and don’t  be  bothering my petty little

mind with  liberal art.
