in all my ranting about "the arts," i forgot to make the elegant arguments that i was trained to make as a leftist art historian, back when i was in training to be a leftist art historian. but now i no longer feel like making them.
art taking-in, art creating. palliative. redemptive. illustrative. discuss.
today my head is full of words like popliteal, antecubital, pleura, serous. pollex, hallux. also my ears are full of the new mountain goats single, which is good, i think the new album will be as good as tallahassee, & as surprising as tallahassee was that first night i listened to it in the kitchen, cutting up sweet potatoes for a curry.
