twice as many of which

there is the recognition
that words should be cut in precisely in half
left to intrepretation.
what is the measure that counts?
surely, enough has been said. | |

but yurs works
all thinking is prepositional | |

| From the Blue Dictionary
Posted: 8/24/2009 10:27:22 PM | A preposition usually indicates the temporal, spatial or logical relationship of its object to the rest of the sentence as in the following examples:
The book is ON the table.
The book is BENEATH the table.
The book is LEANING against the table.
The book is BESIDE the table.
She held the book OVER the table.
She READ the book during class.
In each of the preceding sentences, a preposition locates the noun "book" in space or in time.

The book is ON the table.
The book is BENEATH the table.
The book is LEANING against the table.
The book is BESIDE the table.
She held the book OVER the table.
She READ the book during class.
And the book is divided INTO chapters.
May I introduce here the translation of a poem I was assigned to write in Yiddish, where the title stands for the now-deceased speakers of it and the prepositions in the final line are meant to suggest their relationship with their past, with each other and, for those who survived, with the future:
Yiddish
The language is weak,
and almost done in.
The tongue has been ripped from the mouth.
Verbs from nouns,
like children from their parents,
have been cleaved.
Not one whole sentence remains.
Only a breath carries on
--the smallest preposition:
"from," or "with," or "to."

Posted: 8/25/2009 7:41:25 PM | Sorry I think DURING was the preposition, typo error.
Thinking is always (a) propositional and (b) attitudinal as a consequence....
From the blue dictionary.
"Therefore the ontological as a propositional form of
thought, is an attitude; propositional thinking is an
attitude about the real in the world."
Perhaps then thinking is just taking on a theme or point of view...Jung too would agree: in that thinking for him is feeling (Langer).
Robin Fox: "Family is feeling. The enemy of family is bureaucracy"
I did not say brew-awkracy

portions of your autobiography | |

| Round Every Corner
Posted: 9/16/2009 7:39:23 AM | Round every corner
lies a poem
or a victim of the perennial recession
that we call the “Economy.”
The poem will wait
or it will not. The victim
of the recession doesn’t have that choice. | |

| Aunt Emily! Oh!
Posted: 9/26/2009 6:46:02 AM | Remember the smile Aunt Emily smiled?
It was, God! as if each one of them
was especially crafted
to send a message uniquely to you,
kind of a You're all right, kid
(even when you were already
20, 30, or even 50)
I know you've had hard times,
doubted yourself, done things
you're never going to forgive yourself for,
but underneath it all, kid,
you're gold and I ain't never
going to let you forget it!
Aunt Emily! Oh, Aunt Emily...

There was an earlier appearance of Aunt E. in a poem I wrote for children, narrated by her nephew, bewildered at her apparent disappearance. Bit by bit, she becomes more real to me... | |
