Science Diction

"Science Diction"

When I read Dr. Suess’ “Fox In Sox,” I realized he had a better command of spoken diction than any writer of the 20^th century.  One of the greatest poets ever.  Better than Ginsberg, or Blake, or Lorca, or any other spoken writer.  In his simplistic child-like naïveté, is the mind of a true genius.  The mind of a child is like real poetry – unfiltered and beautifully descriptive innocence.  I would like to read someone else’s work and have them read mine.  More of that should be happening aloud.  I would be honored to read, “Fox in Sox” on the local television cable access channel.  The words are tricky to pronounce, like an exotic language; yet they all have a universal science of diction and meaning.  Seuss’ pictures tell the story of a common theme of humorous humanity.  Thank you Connie for giving me this challenging book and helping me realize that like life, his writing is complex frustration in a humorous fashion.  All the words are intricate and distinctive, like cultures and languages, but if read enough, can be understood by foreigners.  It is like a Bhuddist mantra – Am One or Oneness.  Looks and physical features of people are really one in the same.  Were all humans who share exactly the same needs and wants and yes, in our own primitive way – values.  Our goal is to live and survive as well as we can.  I love Dr. Suess’ humanity and deep grasp of the humor of the human spirit in all its commanding strength and testing spoken representation.  Realize how frustrating this language of life really is, and express it with humor and love, like the greatest poet ever.  Humanity speaks louder than misinterpretations of the human being.  Love us all, you universal God.

Thank God’s

P.S.  The human primitive primate is what we all are, no matter how technologically or scientifically advanced.  Smart and idiotic are two very lovely and funny words.  Like all the other animals, God sees us for all our complex idiocy.
