(Portraits by the Student Body)
Oh keep them out of it the students have dispersed from the institution of learning how to become a parasite upon a text nobody reads passed on from generation to must go on the other scene since the institution of unlearning has been closed down by an obituary act of authority due to textual disturbances.
So that youn drive away into the nightwiddling along the transistor of disembodied voiceless logos watching the hoops that dance red amber white green mauve eyes made up by the disappeared narrator in a mere vehicle now deprived of pilot who would not stay for an answer
