People who don't understand history's doom
are repeating themselves constantly! "Why
do I need to know this?" "Why do I need
to know this?" "Why do I need to know
this?" JUST LEARN IT. THEN you will understand
why you didn't need to know. Pliability
is the skill we teach - flexible in a set
way, the better to lay the plates for
life's blanket. A rich, sumptuous
banquet of homey down comfort
to draw over you in the night,
wondering "What shall I dream?
Whom shall I wake? Supposing
I scream?" Look. If the cops
come again it's your turn
at the door. You should
have learned better in college,
and that
is why you didn't. Objection
to "should" on principle, after
that terrible philosophy course
you took on, elective as all hell
- which tripped you off on your
current, lifelong intractability
binge. Why
did you need to know THAT?
