Poet means poverty. Not because poverty breeds poets, but because poets will not earn money. I wonder about the daily disconnect of experience and expression. How dominant theory is without capacity to inform decision.

Perhaps art is apart enough that the market, capitalism’s net of catch phrases, won’t hold it. Perhaps capitalism’s catchy tune “supply and demand” can’t carry us. Too bad it so regularly constrains us.

Blinders on the blind seems, … so American.
