All the Rooms of the House

Keith Kennedy over at The Showbear Family Circus - Lancelot Schaubert's and Tara Schaubert's liberal arts circus. said ::

We did that thingLet all the pieces get bentForgot to see the birds beneath the cloud cover We smudged the paper and the inkLet wide, swelling resentments into the cracks We made a personal warCastigated with half-truthsAnd struck with full, swollen fists We waited when we should’ve actedStayed quiet when we should’ve spokenTurned away when […]

THE REPUBLIC OF LETTERS

Oliver Fox over at The Showbear Family Circus - Lancelot Schaubert's and Tara Schaubert's liberal arts circus. said ::

A pair of figures entered the darkened Coliseum. They ascended the white marble stage and stepped into the circular spotlight. The first figure was a middle-aged man with keen eyes and a tall quiff of silver hair. He strutted toward one of two very different chairs behind the podium and took a seat. The chair […]

Golddeep

Allister Nelson over at The Showbear Family Circus - Lancelot Schaubert's and Tara Schaubert's liberal arts circus. said ::

Diving for gold in labyrinthine depths Into the bosom of your ocean I’m swept My heart is a panpipe, thrumming bright You the wind through the reeds in velvet night. Body alight, bones of delight. And we Are all sailors fulsome fright. Beware the lea of lovers. Sloe black eyes. Trapped in the depths beyond […]

You wore your new dress tonight,the one we picked out at the mall last weekend,the day of the summer solstice.I can see us standing there before the mirror, you turning this way and that to make sure it was the right fit. Even on first sight, I loved everything about that dress.The way it hung, […]

An Ethics of Possibilities: A Phenomenological Reevaluation of “Is/Ought”

Will Pewitt over at The Showbear Family Circus - Lancelot Schaubert's and Tara Schaubert's liberal arts circus. said ::

For those of us who see Heideggerian Phenomenology as a way to bypass Western philosophy’s “pendulum swinging between dogmatism and skepticism,” as Rorty put it, we have usually been left a bit dumbstruck on issues of ethics, of values, of “oughts.” Phenomenologically, any question of what I should do is revealed as wrongheaded when I […]

Fun Isn’t Something One Considers When Balancing the Universe

Beatrice Benson over at The Showbear Family Circus - Lancelot Schaubert's and Tara Schaubert's liberal arts circus. said ::

I want to say hello To the wedges deep inside meThose parts I want to meet. I want to say goodbye To the chunks restingon everything that shows they’re known If they could only divorceBe created in two different pathsFor me, to figure out what I need What I should suffer to keepWhat is desired […]

100 Strokes

I used to brush our daughter’s hairOn nights you were alone with him And I’d forget for 100 strokesAbout the pain it caused us both And I’d remember in the moment afterI’d said goodnight to our child That mommy bent over late at nightAnd screamed and screamed in abject bliss So busy was mommy with […]

Mindlessly Commonplace

James Ph. Kotsybar over at The Showbear Family Circus - Lancelot Schaubert's and Tara Schaubert's liberal arts circus. said ::

An image one could call pedestrian might still convey significance profound. For instance, water dripping in a pan demonstrates fluid motion, waves of sound, time’s passage marked with every passing plink, properties of aqueous suspension, how ratios of geometries link, capillary action, surface tension, volume’s effects upon viscosity,  prismatic colors, current convections, refraction and trans-luminosity, […]
