Rorty thinks that if we had a material way
("being shoved about")
to access knowledge
then words would be obsolete.
I can't agree
we verbalise, not because it's all we've got
but it's because who we are
human.
I know by being "shoved about",
I experience,
I am confronted by,
and then I speak.
Love is a reality that is felt,
bodily known more than spoken
and yet poets and lovers
and perhaps other incompetents
feel a need
to pour thousands of words
out to express a knowledge
that when it is known by two
may need no words.
We drink in the words
because we already know
what they are telling us
for some reason we want
to word our knowing.
But sometimes words are
something other than knowledge,
more art than science.
Does scientific discourse word "love"
or even "lust"?
