Lay, you Snakes
At the feet of

INDUSTRIA

Writhe.
She wants you to writhe.

Give her to smelt
The spring in your step
The light in your eyes
Your fingers' nimbleness
Your sighs.

Oh brave new interface, that has such people in it!

I'm a professor of #Philosophy and #Classics at #umich, specializing in Greek and Roman philosophy, esp. the philosophy of mind (#intentionality, #consciousness, #MindBody, #perception). I have published mostly on #Aristotle and the #Stoics, but have interests from #Parmenides and #Gorgias through #Augustine.

I love #BaroqueOpera, #KingCrimson, #Calligraphy (broad edge and #Copperplate), and the game of #Go.
