While mingling at the open mic event,
I met a student, charming and well-meant,
who told me she had come since she’d been sent
by her professor as an assignment.
“Are you an English major then?” I asked.
“Oh, no,” she said, “it’s social sciences.”
A bit surprised, I asked why she’d been tasked
to form such poetic alliances.
“New to the area, I thought it wise
to go to listed readings where I’d find
a local subculture to scrutinize,”
which was the project that she’d been assigned.
"And here, all along, I had been thinking
we were the culture," ... guess we've been sinking.
------ The quickest way for me to learn something new is to first understand why I'd like to learn it.
