What I’ve Learned from Poetry Workshops
(De((a))dicated to Academia)
written by: Heath Brougher
We are
all made
of puppy-dog
tears. At
least that’s
what I’ve
learned from
the rampant
Academic Poetry
that chokes
to death
anything that
dare color
outside the
lines.
Or am
I mistaken?
Please! Somebody
tell me
what I
should think!
Academia has
poisoned my
pineal and
I am
slowly choking
to death
on this
omnipresent mediocrity!
