On hearing about a robot bee

On hearing about a robot bee , maturing in a Harvard lab, a crow’s flight from the South Str 
eet train station and the arena where the Boston Celtics  playing out their genesis. A stream of NBA, the priceless ingredients of team  basketball , these post WW2 athletic young men, playingout their alter ego consciousness A selflessness of passing, dribbling, shooting, driving, weaving, give&go, feinting,rebounding, fouling,…..playing for the last shot , the shot clock ticking away…12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 21 .
All of this ballet movement, played on parquet boards, orchestrated by an impresario  named Red Auerbach. A Darwinian* n disguise  from Brooklyn New York’s playground   reality.(Cambridge University*)
From Boston(Cambridge), Massachusetts to the GalapagosIsland of Pauley Pavilion and NBA basketball.
I n this Cambridge, Massachusetts  reality, the Boston Celticsowner saw in Auerbach, a brash ego driven  human, “(I hate to lose”)who could lead the franchise to glory and profits. A full court “mojo”, Red ‘s cigar smoke drifting over the parquet floor and the fans in the sell out arena…. after each ‘w’.                                                                                  
Brooklyn born Auerbach’s karma was to be sure, not unlike Darwin’s evolution   to the Galapagos, don’t you think. A metamorphosis a kin to our discovery of Red’s Bill Sharman, that night in 1945 at Ucla’s men’s gym when Sam Barry’s SC Trojans vied Wilbur Johns Bruins
Sharman, the pure one handed set shooter from Placerville ,California, playing out his dream at forward..

Sam Balter, the Bruin announcer and Klac radio spots, may nothave known of the Hank Luiseti connection from Northern California. A one handed flame thrower out of Sanford, Luiseticould very well have been Sharman’s I.D. and inspiration. . Those swishes from downtown, outside the three point line in today’s split second  trance.
However a basketball junkie could very well see Bill Sharman emerge from the Trojan horse’s b elly on the USC campus whereto fore “John Wayne” emerged, to be discovered. Riding shotgun in John Ford’s “Stagecoach”.

No amnesia here These dynamic players into their full court press,  realizing their dreams and the chemistry of their Dorothy Roberts ,head counselor Middle and Senior High counselorinsights, into role playing through the classrooms. (6-12).

Bill Sharman into his own Darwinian evolution, stayed with his unconscious, returning to the West Coast in the role of a coach, a la Red Auerbach…..  into the psyches of his players.
A disenchantment in Utah, reverted into a Globetrotter masterpiece in the City of Angels. A 33 game winning streak ,akin to Ucla’s coach Wooden’s  77.

In the Holy Grail of original thinking…




In the Holy Grail of original thinking…..where art thou gone? In the planet’s whirl of cyber space and optics, our mother from her base in Shangri-la, Santa Monica, California, adjacent to the apartment of  William Holden’s “I wanted wings”, and Gloria Swanson’s “I’m ready for my next take, mister DeMille,”s“Sunset Boulevard”, starring said William Holden, she scribbled this foray……
                                                                                                                                                                    II

“It seems to me you’re fusing your refinements with a tough sensitivity, the system’s  impact  is mellifluous and equal to the primary design. If I may Raymond Chandler once said 
“That to be very poor and very beautiful is most  probably a moral failure, much more than an artistic success.
Shakespeare would have done well in any,  in any generation and culture, because he would have refused to die in a corner; he would have taken the false gods and made them over.
He would have hated refinement as such because it’s always a withdrawal and  he was much too tough to shrink from anything.”

                                                                                                                                                            III

A scholarship student in Rhetoric at Hunter High School in the City that never sleeps. An immigrant herself, her mother, our grandmother  of landed gentry ,born in Berderchev, Ukraine outside of Kiev, they flede the invading Cossacks to Odessa and a steerage  “Anthony Adverse” to the New World , docking in Buffalo, New York.
Making their way to the Stature of Liberty and Ellis Island, theKaminskys found themselves in the Bronx…..a field today below the El, near  the old Stadium that Ruth built, and graffiti scripted buildings of prayer
Here my aunts scripted their aggressions and power…..my mother attending Morris Evening High, General Powell’s Elementary school.

Esther became the Rhetoric scholar…Rhetoric being her gift…..languages w at the turn of the 20th century her forte. Theadministration offering her  the school’s scholarship to Hunter High School in Manhattan. ……….a tribute to our celebrityglazed  cyber space and instant horrors. But she persisted, if notprevailing, her old sister argued she should go on to higher education, being she was the oldest daughter.
At fourteen our gifted mother was sent out t5o work and findhersewlf, deprived o  her recognized gifts and talent across the board, ,living to tell the tale in mastering pitman shorthand,becoming a steno in Jimmy Cagney’s vaudeville booker Black & Erlingerr (“Yankee Doodle Dandy”)
