"Watch out for intellect,
because it knows so much it knows nothing
and leaves you hanging upside down,
mouthing knowledge as you heart
falls out of your mouth."
      -Anne Sexton-

Dumb apprentices
mouths stuffed with leaves
sucking on caffeine, or THC
                             you've lost your minds
They'll stand on their podiums
mini Atlas's, holding out the globe
for you to digest
                             and you swallow the plastic and cardboard
                             and metal and topographical maps and believe
                             you have tasted life.
Spitting back their concoctions
makes a baby bird gone bad -
They laugh in the face of "ignorance"
                            and are unaware of the reflection

Praise to the student,
who hails the professor,
who fucked the assistant,
who patted the bird on the head.
Back.
