Inflection Point

Philosophy Meant to be a Puzzle

Lately everybody is talking about

Inflection point

Or at least using that phrase

A word of speech

I have difficulty understanding

But apparently it refers

To an instance in a graph where things going one way

Suddenly

Go the other

For me

It’s falling in love

So destructive

So soul-destroying

Where everything you ever believed

Shattered in the Universe

I guess it’s a good phrase

Since it refers to something other than it is

A graph not a heart

Although there is ECG

Which I think is a measure of heart rhythm

Please correct me if I’m wrong

We are good these days on symbols

Post-modern honey

Where Shakespeare became all about

The “environment”

And the forests of Dunsinane

Nothing classical

Whatever is current

After James the First

Less on the real thing

It’s not the graph

it’s the emotion

Ppl ask me

Wat’s the use of philosophy?

Actually nobody asks me

but w/e

Good question in this inflection point of history

Where an American from the West Coast

Posts morning rituals in Montreal

To his Quebec lover

In wonderful poetry

On Beluga Bay

In photographs and poetry

I warn him

Look up the Bilingualism and Biculturalism

The Bi & Bi Report

Of the 1960s

Where Canada changed the world

And forgot what might happen

If it didn’t work

Well we could go ahead and kill each other randomly

And for good reason

There are so many good reasons for evil

Believe me I wake up cursing everything

That in this inflection point

Of history

What Hegel called

World-historical

Hegel’s mother said

Wilhelm sorry to say this

But everything is not as you think it is

I die while embracing you

And you sick with life

you have so much to encounter

and discover

Nothing human is alien to you

Don’t get me wrong

There are borders

There are places where love cannot go

And our relationship is our own

We cannot open it up to others

Without destruction

Of us and them
