I had lunch with Randy, between classes today. It was a perfect day. The sky was an infinite, capri blue, the wind was stirring the environment, clouds were wispy and on high - in the fast lane where they could rush along - and birds cruised, gliding with no need to flap. New Haven can’t...

When a class is boring, the air can feel close and rebreathed - not a comfortable feeling for a COVID child. When the class is finally over, it’s like you’ve escaped something. Did you know an hour has 60 minutes because ancient Babylonians used a seximal system? (base six). The class I was in was small,...

I got a text from one of my professors yesterday saying, ‘Please stop by my office at 6 pm tomorrow.’ It didn’t say why. This was the first day after November recess, had I missed something? That night, I’d gone through the syllabus, checking every recent and upcoming assignment - I was grable. But there...

Poems For Poets V
PROFESSOR POETS These are poems about professor poets and other “intellectuals” who miss the main point of poetry, which is to connect with readers via pleasing sounds and the communication of emotion as well as meaning. Professor Poets by Michael R. Burch Professor poets remind me of drones chasing the Classical queen's aging bones. With bottle-thick glasses they still see to...

Premium Member Professors Secret
The professor kept his cats secret because he was a man. He had been told that cats were women’s pets by cousin Fran. She was completely off her rocker, as crazy as a loon. Still he was embarrassed when I saw all of them yesterday at noon....

Your Professors Are Lying To You - Iv
IV. And when they speak of America it’s a sputtering wall of hate, the great country that shelters them they can never appreciate. They point to all its past mistakes, taken out of context of time, ignore others who did much, much worse, try to make us ‘uniquely’ malign. Forgetting that we fought those ills, and ran them all done, one by one, That we’ve brought...

Your Professors Are Lying To Youe - Iii
III. Then there is their favorite target, the faceless foe they call ‘the rich,’ who they claim keep everyone down, the academics so love to . They sat they get rich off our backs, but they’re not talking subsidies, they seem to think those people’s wealth was stolen…it seems strange to me. What did Elon Musk take from me to be able to fly the...

Your Professors Are Lying To You - Ii
II. Then there are all the attitudes you see taken up against men, how the professors always seem to do nothing but demonize them, that we’ve done nothing for centuries but scheme to ‘keep the women down!’ The great boogeyman ‘patriarchy’ must always be put in the ground. But a simple look at history renders all these notions absurd, there was no plan to ‘oppress’ women, it...

Your Professors Are Lying To You - I
I. You hear the most vile garbage come from young people’s mouths these days, that America is evil, it does not deserve to be saved. The fact they’re not shot in the streets means at least we do free speech right, but to see them hating their freedom is a reprehensible sight. There are many theories out there as to why they do what they...

Professors Desk
Like a crowd of Roman folk, they've collected in the rise of chairs and desks for the day, to approve and disapprove. Ones kept a gape to his mouth peering into a bar of light on the ceiling; the turkey student. Another leans her knowledge heavy head on her hand; marching through the mind...

Professors of the School of Hard Knocks
Some people are of the belief, that teacher come from one place From a school or university, with degrees all over the wall Know great big fancy words, recites Shakespeare With IQ's a mile high, that would put most to a disgrace When in reality, have no common sense at all Have read all the books and can pass any...
