The topics that keep coming up — school and generational distinctions, theory vs. emotion, etc. — seem to me entirely etiolated and based on artificial dualities.

HOWEVER, I am aware that to discuss these topics is to ensure that you have an audience. People never seem to tire of discussing them.

I have never considered myself to be a fence sitter because you know why: THERE IS NO FENCE.

Musical interlude:

“Let me be by myself where the West commences

Gaze at the moon until I lose my senses

Can’t look at hobbles and I can’t stand fences —

Don’t fence me in.”
