Being Academic

Being Academic

Peripatetic – strolling through the Groves of

Academe wondering what? What the? What
the heck?  What the heck kind of a deal is that?

Platonic dialogues never ended in a bang.

Petered out.  Provoking. Educing (educating).
As opposed t0 and not to be confused with
Informing. Instructing. Write this down:
provoke on the one hand; instruct on the other.
Educe on the one hand; inform on the other.
A difference that makes a Difference.  It'll
be on the quiz, test, examination, a measurable
outcome.

“The weight of this sad time, we must obey.

Speak what we feel, not what we ought to say.” 

My Solipsism: a Safe Place for Crying Out Loud.
a bubble of  oblivion,  salved  &  salvaging, my

homeland security systems  protecting my

Directional  Navigational  Algorithms  from what

ever might under-cut, demoralize, contradict  &

expose:   uncovering  the cover-up which lets me,

clod of  unknowing, go about my  busyness despite

what ever  kind of trafficking goes on and on that

I might could  be disturbed by:  railing against,

& letting IT  be known I disapprove;  count me
in with the disapprove-ers, it’s  safe to say I'm
against  the bad  guys, stupid, blithering,
confused &  ignorant.
