"Taylorism has been around since Taylor."

at last night's class,
when we weren't discussing auteurism,
or alluding to the text's elision of Frederick Winslow Taylor,
or lambasting the Lucas/Spielberg cycle...

we were eating cheese-stained grapes over cups of wine,
discussing bell hooks and how a teacher must first be a healer
- and this was the point -
but it didn't happen inside the four walls of the classroom.
