How to succeed in a university
- 2. You would plan to dip your head into the mouth of a tiger shark And tell it not to cramp its teeth, else you will burst its jowl.
- 3. You walk into the aperture of darkness with mouth filled With the blood of words, equations and drawings And hope some will penetrate your myelin.
- 4. You would spin yourself into a somnambulist and Melt the night into your eyes with candles and Hope again that some will penetrate your myelin.
- 5. You would drag bare parties into a sack and Encourage it to commit Fatalistic suicide.
- 6. Then you owl, yelp and roar to the heavens And request you don’t want the darkness To reappear in the mouth of the tiger shark.
