“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
