This was a fabulous reception, though it was all foreign to me. Or…it was a little less offensive than I thought that it would be. The platitudes and drinks just kept on coming, unrelieved, and their tones conveyed affection with a tinge of rivalry. And the tenured tilt toward you; they make motions with their glass like they’re hundred year-old parrots blurting curses from the past. And their anecdotes and witticisms coated by the heat; in the slow sway of its shimmering viscosity, they read: Publish or Perish…it’s up to you. In the corridors of power, through the Groves of Academe, there’s a labyrinth of fingers scrabbling above the weeds. And a whole English department is united by these things: a shared hatred of literature and other faculties. Publish or Perish…it’s up to you. From the manicured lawns, through the sound-proof highway walls, they can’t see the slink of river light and the torn scraps of cloud that sing to me.
