Profundity in 25 Minutes
Tres kewl! "To the Editor: Re 'Strivers Sharpen Their No. 2's for a Different Test for College' (The New York Times, front page, March 4): As a longtime (30 years) teacher of writing, I think that I can predict what will happen when high school students are confronted with instructions to write a serious essay in 25 minutes: the several glib ones will write something readable and competent. The others ~ perhaps more thoughtful ~ need at least a few minutes to collect and organize their thoughts and will fail to do a finished piece of work. The first group will score higher. So much for testing the ability to write well." ~ Anne Bernays "=2E.. and some of them can't write with pencils, Either ~ Dysgraphia, C'sest moi." ~ Twittering * "Go potty, Too? ..=2E. or just Poetry? Or meet Tomorrow Gold Fish School? Just say, The Breakfast Club? Or Just dance tonight, all night, At the discoth=E8que club ~ Like we Used to do? O, My buds, yes ~ All Deade. O, how I miss All my Back ~ Street Gay Boyz ..." ~ Twittering "=2E. O, My buds, yes ~ All Deade.

Life is for the living." ~ The "But, O, the dead keep giving, Don't you know? My eye's Crying ~ Those DeadE Boyz still haunt my sleep, My waking, My Ilk of Too, too." ~ Twittering * "Whether Deleuze and Guattari were actually 'doing philosophy' in the _Anti-Oedipus_ or not, their last collaborative work (_Qu'est-ce que la philosophie?_) may shed some light on the status of the concepts operating in that early work.^1^ Unlike scientific concepts, which aim to stabilize and identify" ~ Eugene W.

The aerogramme made a lily of necessity, stumped box, redolence ribboned far off in the glass cities I opened and closed to the dandy drawers. A colt emerged on a clotted pansy. A pan required fanning. This repose a thread files. Inside the spitting rope sweeps like a foppish knot or lighthouse, a beam where the sun withers like snow in its box of jewels. Like a towel-like now. tiny broom zippers boxed Z" ~ Tan Lin, From "Postmodern Culture" "Aside from their humor, Don DeLillo's novels are noted almost as frequently for their brilliant terror, manifested as a %frisson% at the core of contemporary existence..." ~ Charles Bernstein, From "Libra and the Historical Sublime," From "Postmodern Culture" * "And your point To this post was?" ~ Art Deco "Shortening, without which No biscuit is crisp. Justice, without which, No life is sane. Health, without which No life is without pain." ~ Twittering * Living Again "I'm getting older every day But if I could live my life over again I would like to travel I would like to go down to the West Indies Islands And just lay down on the sand and take it easy And enjoy life like rest of my life If I could have my way." ~ Sam Rainey, From "I Never Told Anybody" [p. 197] Old People "I want to come back as a dove Innocent, knows nothing about life That's what I want to come back as But that's not really me. A lot of people classify me as a devil. Even my Casey thinks I'm a devil. I love old people.

The old people pet a dove But the devil they shove away from." ~ William Ross, From "I Never Told Anybody" [p. 197] Life "When I was young I was a very nice girl.

Me, being a Libra, clinging to those scales, Balance defines the crux of my life ~ Matter, Spirit, Both matter, Both make sense. But as someone [Hey~ Ms. Donna Willis!] wise once pointed out to me ~ Those scales Are always a tad off-kilter.
