poets diversity college

  John Shinn & I are going to start a college

the ad will feature actors of indeterminate race- 

  headshots in high contrast puce lighting

saying the name of the college

  in various intonations

"poets. diversity. college."

"poet's diversity college."
   etc.

  John Shinn & Molly Stoddard, famed photographer & artist, respectively, know the challenge of finding a college that works with your needs.

  "Every student who attends pdc receives a laptop computer and a wheelchair, if needed, to keep, if they graduate, ABSOLUTELY FREE. Not sure which path is right for you? At poets diversity college, you will learn that everyone is a poet. Just ask yourself the question: how poem am I?"

we're pretty big on diversity, here. there are wheelchair ramps on every entrance

there will be clubs to join for every race, sexual orientation, religion & creed

oh, and speaking of religion!

try checking out pdc's sister school, poet's diversity bible college

because you can be a biblebanger & a poet, too

just ask history

no

wait, 

be a part of history

in the making. 

all the wheelchairs have a built in laptop table

so you can poem 

from the comfort

of your sleek new ride.

the only for-profit poetry college in America

  & don't forget the promises you'll make & keep

    & the free laptop & wheelchair you'll get

I heard Kyle Crawford just got his MFA, and his driver's license

  so he'll be teaching there, for sure

stop doing how you do

never tell someone to love! I fixed myself up,

fox yourself up. I like to take inventory too much

I found this old green gridded journal for officing

so when someone would borrow a book, they could check it out

from the library, bc I even have one of those date stampers

it can stamp any day between 1992 and 2013

I don't know what will happen in 2014

maybe we'll stop reading by then

god I hope so, I have too many books lugging around

So the lendee would sign the book's inside cover, and I'd stamp it with a due date

a date we'd agreed on

a date before 2014, sometime

and she let her old boyfriend borrow one hundred years of solitude

and she'd forgotten she'd done that, so it was about a hundred years late but is back on the shelf

along with all of the other Márquez I've never read

save for the novelette about the president

that I read aloud to bruce over a lantern

at the reservoir while he poured vodkas

I wonder if I will ever read one hundred years of solitude

I keep thinking I will

the other books haven't been returned... I stupidly in romantic fever lent a lover's discourse

to some ex-girlfriend of my friend's ex-boyfriend, so-

I lent it at the bar, too

I had my stamp & my logbook & everything already with me, the bar library

but that was last summer

and she unfriended me on facebook

but I know she couldn't have digested that

but I ingested it so I guess I hope she passes it along

I lent light in august which is one of the two Faulkners I've done

I started it one August

and finished it the following August

 am I a slow reader :/

nah, I was reading linguistics texts

and postmodern short stories

remember? I was trying to be in COLLEGE again, whatever

I lent light in august to andy, but then of course he broke up with me

and I told him to finish it and give it back

and then I told him I just wanted it back

and then I told him he could burn it if he wanted, that I never wanted to see it again

yeah, I think I'll go take some inventory

inventorying is relaxing
