Getting Real

Getting Real:

My courses are the most powerful in the college,

probably in the country I wouldn’t be surprised

 if one acknowledges  “power”  in its original sense

as possibility  (posse) as potential—an exquisite

reservoir backed up for evergreen  miles with the

capability of wiping out a valley, trailer camps,

Church of Christ, henhouses old Ford Trucks once

 released helter skelter  & kinetic--washing away

communities down below   

Analogy, yes?  We  read the handout ( text of our own)

and eventually sit (mum’s the word) waiting for the

word,  a word, any word  each involved in his own project.

The potential: theoretically monumental.:  possibilities

galore —our text an embarrassment of riches, bitches,

perceptive commentary, personal revelations & insight,

provocations,  irritations prompts up the wazoo if  only

anyone picked one and declared, questioned, .objected,

validated, elaborated, took issue, begged to differ o my

my o my yes. academics in play. The Real Thing!
