I'm not at all sure about the idea that left=academic=communist=jew
hater=guilt.  Strange equation of equivalents.  I've been on this list
for a year, as an observer, and I am always disturbed when conversation
moves from Pound and Poetics to "mere" opinion and personal insults,
but it is all very entertaining, for a voyer such as my self.  You
people are far more intelligent then the way the banter has headed.
Opinions are fine, insults are not.  It's just my opinion but its a
leftist opinion.  A poem for y'all (a bit abstract but it works here.)


Post-Modern Syllogism

One truth has gone
And now anything goes,
It depends on where you stand.

What is left is imminent,
Contingent reality,
Devoid of external fixed points,

There is no grand narrative,
Just fragmented souls
With microscopic stories,

Stories that are storyless
And can not be told,
A language of an I, and of its own.

Ultimate reality is created
By social reality –
Just empty concepts and categories

That extend nowhere,
Except as arbitrarily assigned
By the isolated mind.

Thus two red apples are not red
Thus two plus two is five
Thus right is wrong and wrong is right.

                                        Left is right of right.



J. Stoner
