Joe -- though I fail to follow a number of your inferences in the compact extrapolatory form they take (namely, "defined logic Physics SQ mathematics in these modern times"), I take it that my adherence to the Rortyan supposition that literal words are simply dead metaphors (built as it is out of Nietzsche's that truth is a mobile army of metaphors and Shelley's before him that poets are the unacknowledged legislators of humankind) to be enough to clear me of unintended closeness to scientistic reductions of poetry off the map of understanding (a supposition Pirsig adheres to in his understanding of "mythos"). Or, "laundry list" is just one more potentially useful metaphor waiting for its poetic release.
