Do Now (Monday) | Reflection
On the side of poem answer the prompt: What is social responsibility? On Which I Renounce the Notion of Social Responsibility, Philip Whalen The minute I’m out of town My friends get sick, go back on the sauce Engage in unhappy love affairs They write me letters & I worry Am I their brains, their better sense? All of us want something to do. I am breathing. I am not asleep. In this context: Fenellosa translated No (Japanese word) as “accomplishment” (a pun for the hip?) Something to do “I will drag you there by the hair of your head!” & he began doing just that to his beautiful wife Until their neighbors (Having nothing better to do) Broke it up If nothing else we must submit ourselves To the charitable impulses of our friends Give them a crack at being bodhisattvas (although their benevolence is a heavy weight on my head their good intentions an act of aggression) Motion of shadows where there’s neither light nor eye to see Mind a revolving door My head a falling star Reflection Questions
