Hitler's Silver Academics
When the trust busts
in to your village
Driving the lunatics
in shackles
Times must be goin'
out of print
Old Hearst's Castle
isn't any good for
climbing
Seeing the waves of
rocket fuel
reminds the Church epiphany
that 8th grade is over
So the western fleet
sends out a graduate team
And recruits for the labor wards
Used to come by the name
of Montgomery
Seas are Charted for a Reason My

In the valley of the academics, in the night that falls like a spider's web over the world
In the valley of the academics, in the night that falls like a spider's web over the world,
I see them moving, like pale shadows, struggling in their golden cages,
They, who fancy themselves independent thinkers, who think they are eagles soaring in blue heights,
But they are just domesticated doves, with clipped wings and gazes lost in

Monster Mommy
I always prayed for a baby girl before
Asked god for nothing more
She brought so much happiness in our lives
Academics being the only thing, where she strives.
As I prepared her for her school test one night
and she wasn't learning anything right.
I was running out of patience, methods and time
All the while she tried

Moving On
The recent lockdown certainly made family the center of everything - from fun to daily irritations. But after a month of being at college - which I know, objectively, isn’t long - those memories seem like echoes from another life.
I love the sudden privacy college has provided - like I’ve personally rediscovered something seemingly new.
I

Mathematical Mind
Sliding down the curves of a hypersurface,
Jumping from side to side of a polytope.
Slacklining between the points of a hexacosichoron,
Spinning through the quadrants of a cartesian plane.
Reciting digits of pi, I twirl them into Fibonacci spirals.
I take comfort in the chaos, settling in the irregular regularities.

The First Ever Teachers
The first ever teachers
now idle
at the entrance,
with feet benumbed.
Drunk with feelings
and wisdom being ebbed,
they fly lies,
he said – not me.
Crowned with thorns,
wearing briers
and clenching our rags
HOME we left.
Shelters mocked at us
and insults rained on us;
here, we stand again
but at the entrance.
Shall we rush into the

Redneck Academics
A spleen for breakfast or is it lunch.
I’m not quite sure your words aren’t much.
Beaten by a crayon’s mark.
Your fire died without a spark.
The writer’s block must have returned.
Speak up son you’re getting burned.
You’ve got some time with this pandemic.
You’re learning redneck academics.

The Academics of Soup
Blows me away of what I have learned
At the institution of soup
How dumb I was to think this poetry
Was just rhyming on a dime
You have opened my eyes to a whole new world
By letting me enroll into this institution of soup
Deep I use to think was a hole you had to dig, go figure
But It
