Academe

they hate
what is
outside
of their
territory:
bums,
black-smoked factories,
bubblegum-shoes,
organic intellectuals,
3-in-1 coffee,
wisdom from hungry mouth,
plastic spoon and fork,
mass starvation,
novelty,
pop.
they hate
you,
especially you
because
you
are
not
them.
yet they love
you
being feeble--
feeble minded,
pebbles brain,
a not so
important
breath.
they chose
to manifest
erasers,
they will
erase
us,
you.
they will
fill us,
you
with
theories
far
from reality,
like distant
polaris.
cogito
ergo
sum.
they hate
you,
yes!
they hate
you

but you,
you
love
them.
