University elegy.
by
Azra Daniel Francis
Even as you
Are reading this,
Be quite assured
Behind conniving academic
Committee doors
On a University Campus
Nearest U,
Professors professing
Teaching-learning
Perfectionists,
Are debauching in illicit,
Degenerate
Personal and professional ethics:
Incestuous research scholarship;
Biblically and otherly
Unclean sodomy;
Racist malice
Pettishly childish;
Adulterous
Spouse-swapping trysts.
And all in exquisitely democratic
Protocol cooking up whatever whets
Their sneering slanderous
Herpes simplex licked
Liar lips
Sauce-tipped
With one another's finger-food dips
Of mutual venereal vomits.
