I know you guys dig the written word, so I thought I'd scratch a couple lines down about reading and school and how they clash.
We explicate
poems
ripping all the raw beauty
from each letter like
Beowulf
ripping Grendel's skull
from his monstrous frame
keeping his brain
for a trophy.
If you're drowning in a school swamp of classic epic muck that you don't dig, jot down some lines that vibe to stay alive. Can ya dig it?

Jack, my friend, I feel exactly where you're coming from. A place of frustration at the system that trys to squeeze us all into the uniform of academic readings, confusion over whether or not you're attracted to the professor, and tention between the flow of sunflower creativity and didactic learning.
ReplyDeleteIt's time we take another road trip, Jackie, our Willy William's way.
love, Allen
