Mind II

K and I were talking about blacklists tonight and wondering if they exist now. Not in the past sense, and not in the general now sense, but if it happens. Citizen Kain. Now, the not and now. Freedom of speech splatters possible all over and there is no … But, gossip is taboo in public circles. To do better is to be a to-do-betterer, and to not is not.

Make: school loans go away; poor neighborhoods be common-good neighborhoods; government be (as we are defined) congressional; be good gooders of poor conditions; be in a position to be gooders without feeling too good about it or too far from the done badders; be like “” good; generally define the particular slight in a general feeling of slightedness; be bad, occasionally, at a certain thing; and never bad enough.

What are the black listed slights? Arrested? Seen arrested? Distance the arrest but not. Arrest towards the possible good arrest. Or, are arrests possible?

Words usually bomb, and happen to terrorize, but sometimes destruct. Made in packages meant to be listened to for the fine ticker. Tick.

I am thinking of Jean Genet's "The Balcony"...I want to see that again. Arpine and I will go see his play called "The Maid" on January 11th. The Rogue Theatre, a new and edgy theatre company in town, is putting it on...should be good. I don't know why I'm thinking of it, except that I remember it being pertinent to this conversation. In a the philosophical sense, of course. Here is the link to the IMDB site's info page on the 1963 movie version of it. I highly recommend it: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0056847/.

Remember the black part of the list and forget all the (ar)rest. Accepting, of course, the one you feel.
