writing till my brain turns to gravy
why did I think that academia would save me?
I'm so crazy...
"talk to someone who understands"
but everybody understands
the same things differently
everything I'm learning makes my ears ring
every page I turn in makes my head spin
and everything's...
the same
if I could play dumb,
then I could pass easy
but when I do that, nobody sees me
please just see me
why should I pay for someone to grade me?
make me overanalyze the society that made me
and made me crazy
sit in the back row and keep my head down
then go write 15 pages of what I've found
but it don't fit
the prompt
sisyphus is happy but I'm broke
and every fucking subject makes me choke
on multiplicities
when you get too smart things just stop making sense
and who am I to pitch in my 2 cents
when no one's listening?
read the same shit over till it burns my eyes
spit it up in circles; philosophize
articulate my precious
brain goop
it's hard now that I see....I just want to be me
I'm not a thought machine, but I
keep on cranking out this madness
I keep on cranking out this madness
I keep on cranking out this madness
...and they love me

what's this? and can you tell me who I am?
what's life? and can you tell me what's the plan?
cause I have never been this swept away
my thoughts have never left me so a-fucking-stray
too open minded, I'm fucking blinded
nobody's right and nobody's wrong
history's got me fucked up again
but Miranda and Lowry don't know where I been
down in the swamps and across the Atlantic,
writing in my journal about revolution frantically
and where'd Miguel Hidalgo get that candy
he handed to the members of his firing squad?
and who can tell a cracker
from those damn peninsulares?
don't let tuberculosis get ya down, Jose
I'm coming to St. Petersburg, oh Catherine, my dear
give me all your love and all the empire you can spare
standing in the archives
hashing over someone's life
trying to make meaning
I lost all my convictions at the library today
trying to make meaning
