…something else the same

“We go on living, we permit ourselves
to continue—but certainly
not for the university, what they publish

.
severally or as a group: clerks
got out of hand forgetting for the most part
to whom they are beholden.

.

spitted on fixed concepts like
roasting hogs, sputtering, their drip sizzling
in the fire

.

Something else, something else the same.”

William Carlos Williams
