University System

University System

Where power flows at cheap rates;
Where chemistry combusts into variable traits;
Where the young, the brilliant, the old,
The mother, the father, the child and grandparent
Moving together in a hurried pace.

The recycling and invention of knowledge;
breathing, thinking, reading, sitting;
Rooms, halls, structures made of brick and sand melted hot,
with grass growing between walkways of mixed rock,
poured by men sweating under the sun.
And talking and listening, and flirting and kissing, and sickness and health.
Insomnia–a fusion of intellect and passion,
no more unnatural than night, itself.
