There once was a math teacher
well-versed in singing
"We have many ways to learn."

Eyes
and ears,
Touch
and feelings,
Tastes
and smells
each looking for redundant
polypathic messages
from polyphonic Others.

The math teacher
was conservative
about over-generalizing
from her own deep learning experience.
She did not trust
in only...

She would not understand specificity
If it bit her in the arse,
If it smacked her in the eye, or if it
Rolled her around in a bed.

“All green-eyed people have fat legs,” she says.
What about her? I...

You're not gonna see this.
You don't even notice.
I'm not gonna stand here whispering.

I'm never invited,
to ask where my mind is.
You know I'm not generalizing.

Animals are swallowing oil
Seals are throwing themselves off...

He is a schizophrenic. 
And of course, which expert is saying this to me?

She might not even know a schizophrenic if we made them
Wear donkey tails,...

3. Generalizing people

d. all the blacks...

You see a car and you instantly think
She’s young, She’s cute. She’s blonde. She’s perky.
She’s a smiler. She has perfect nails.

Then you catch up.

About eighty.
Struggling to see.

You see a truck and you...
