finesse


From the poets perspective, Americans do not know the meaning of the word finesse.  For them power is everything, the raw sheer confrontation with the other, to whom they do not intend to submit. Their hypertechnical teacher has provided a largesse of domination that encourages its members to press home their material advantage.

            Conversely! the natural life -intent on rapport and reciprocation- makes the most out of what is already offered freely to it.  Always it seeks the threshold where not edge but equivalence can be realised. It does not want to turn the night into day; it wants to find what the night is made of.  Far from a desire to control everything, it invites &  delights in the natural course of things: accordingly finesse is always its preferred m.o.
