puzzle of ignorance

how do they get old or stay younger
without ever getting invited for a philosophical conversation?

in a village without a pub, dance hall or anything else to hang around in?

is every invitation an intrusion, a sexual sport?
a sexualized perception of both attack and seduction?

language enclosed, a ghetto?

language as self-enclosure,
where the self is designed as community property,
as defense against others:
outsiders ? the learned to be shunned?
the educated to be expelled?

Community: the already always new fiction?
the one-minded community,
barbariens marching off their community fiction
barking away at the outsiders?

there are no trains ( a few) accross country,
do we behave like passing trains,
stuck in compartments in love with desktops and tv sets?
culture's volunteers stuck in cars?

do people pass by?
is the landscape disappearing?

flat minds ask for nothing...


no radio, no tv, no poetry
for what then words? what are humans for?
to suffer punishment and speactacles of passing cultures?


and lies that paint all meanings
follow as sure as green leaves cover up
all that is beneath and below

or do green leaves fall into yellowness
proving our perpetual nakedness
always under this cover of fictions?

etc's

where there is no practical philosophy
there's an abundance of policing, thoughtless incarceration

religious sensibility:
antagonist of freedom

beauty is worthless
against the demands of more law


having friends is a matter of philosophy free from politics;
religious politics praises sexuality, not humanity
