If I am your griot
forever and ever
telling you what happened
yesterday
and what we did
at the previous lesson,
will you
teach me postmodernism
on and on?
If we are enfleshment
forever and ever
of savoir-dire
and savoir-ecouter
and other terms by Jean-Francois Lyotard
(pronounced in French beautifully),
does it mean
the dialogue goes
on and on?
If we are the current
forever and ever
at least as they say we are,
can I tell you:
"Look, this WAS a good academic narrative",
or IS it
to remain present
on and on?
