What We Learn in the Great College Street of Knowledge

What We Learn in the Great College Street of Knowledge

The worst conclusion to a crimson bout

Of love is truth.  We sniff the smell of facts

And they are ugly mumbles. With his snout

The poet gets the scent.  His heart reacts

Like pack hounds to the trail a cognac fox

……….

Lays down and frenzy is the only choice.

Romantic love turns out to be a pox

That leaves its scabs on man’s poetic voice.

A slap directed at the face and heart

Is what we suffer when we live to see

Realities.  We tried to slice apart

With knives our love from actuality,

But poverty in imaginations

Reduces passions to paltry rations.
