When the timing is right, the ability to learn a particular task will be possible. This is referred to as a "teachable moment."
(Havighurst, Robert James, [1952]. Human Development and Education, p. 5. books.google.com/...)
Teachable moment.
Healthy food, housing, health care.
Human rights for all.
“We're getting to that point where it's going to really be some very bad numbers.”
(Trump, Donald John, 4/4/2020. www.politico.com/...)
(For he shall despoil and commodify even our elegies.)
Horror be not the last thought of
Laura, your friend or your mother,
Lying 'neath hospital haze,
Very bad number,
Gasping lonely.
Surrounded from birth by system
Not deprived of Pharoah's power
O'er bricks, ventilators, and truth,
she gave you a few APples only,
Pulled in dark justice from
Dusty lots 'side roads paved
With progress,
Not dreaming her last taste would
Be newly sent,
With smile,
Endotracheal tube purchased
Through the marvel of
Just in time
For her use and enjoyment.
(Speaking of enjoyment. Ba dum tss.)
Following an afternoon call with professional sports league officials, Trump said he wants "fans back in the arenas" as soon as possible.
The Donald is self-referential,
Right hand grasping all things' potential
To praise him with glee
O’re what he now sees
In the valley of death evidential.
“We have to open our country again. We don't want to be doing this for months and months and months“
(as the spring apple flower of the NFL draft fades into training camp then into the compost of preseason….)
Bonus.
(Bad joke alert, the kind they should give at coronavirus briefings: heaven forbid he too, in malevolent boredom, becomes personally involved with the model, grasping with stronger right hand, the flag of victory on his pylon waving, then floats down those cool grey waters to his tomb by the Nile's surging wave.)
