I chose an Erasure poem for the Exploration Challenge this week. In a way, it symbolizes leisure – being creative, but lazy to create, taking time in picking out the right words from a literary piece.
We get such a kick
in being conflicted
we lost leisure
no feeling for cultic celebration
a-musical
no responsiveness to Eros
a flat Realist
no belief in immortality
What is normal is work
the working world
hand work
intellectual work
total work
idleness is spiritual nourishment
a curious connection
but we end up
fortifying ourselves
more zealous
digital retox.
