Release me
from this OBE state of mind
where learning is learning is learning
and delete,
go to trash,
empty recycle bin.
CNTRL+ALT+DELETE
replete with lewd commentary
and fuck me for thinking
that learning is progress without proper process.
Because class after class
I sit and take notes on my BBM
and update status,
and retweet,
and reblog,
and rewind what you just said
and half wittingly write down
a half-wits perception
on what education ought to be.
Fittingly,
I blame others
for my miseducation
when I misrepresent myself
and add insult to injury when I
get my degree and
think I am Aristotle or Sophocles.
Ranting and raving my own inadequacies,
too smart to see
that I am
and therefore I think,
and sit staring and blinking.
What?
I said it,
therefore it must be true…
don’t believe me?
Read my degree…
PhD in illusion and mind ruled
by my own confusion.
