The Professor's Career At An End
The lecturer behaves
in such an intimate way
not taking the standard distance
that is derived from the
model of aristocracy,
innate superiority
parenthood.
The students believe
cracks in the demeanor of the teacher
mean that knowledge,
power,
the power of knowledge
is going to leak
like warm gas
and that the teacher will deflate
hissing onto the classroom floor.
