Fukeritaville
By Dante McGalen,
the only one I know who writes theory in poetry form.

Poor sweet you
despite your willingness to hear yourself speak at times.
Your heart speaks above theory.
Your heart speaks the truth they're afraid to say
Your heart, your poor sweet heart.

Frail young woman with the heart of a lion.
Passion mistaken for textual elitism.
Rock on across this nation.
And keep [on] lighting those candles breaking barriers.
You're remembered.

Condemn you not for hierarchy lacking
but for naked human truth.
We are ugly peoples
but we must know this before we can help it.
You did it.

So fukerita the faculty that has no sense to regard your work.
Fukerita what JH enthusiasts say, I think Ricoeur has more to say anyway.
They only mock and repeat his own words and know limited spectrums.
They have no words of their own to speak of.
So fukerita them.

Fukerita them all to hell.
Tell them in their face to piss off.
Be happy.
Let us be too.
Hierarchy will fall on its face.
And we will still be painting. Dig the music. It's joyously grieving in ignorance.
We can laugh.
We can make our own. Call it what we want.

It works.
What's the problem?

"If it looks like a duck and walks like a duck..."
So fukerita the duck.
Dig the music.
Rock on Dr. Curran!
You're remembered.
You're loved!
You did it.

Dante's response, Tuesday, August 27, 2002:

Thank YOU, Academy Frogs and Falls!

"tis arrogance all...
clung to the wall...
when the academy frogs fall...

...what were ya thinkin' of, Mon?"

"Colorful hierarchy..."
lives in Fukeritaville,
sectioned off with yellow tape.

Dear Habermas just licks its lips and
"priviledge (IS) held to account..."!
Dig the music!

"MAN" will hear it through that keyhole.

"When the academy frogs fall...",
"sanctity of my office..."
will roam the hall!

Dante
