Lachlan Brown #11 OneStar (a partially found poem)


OneStar: anthologies fro e’ryone (theme and variations)


Introduction
     Academic Prattle 
     About a Movement 
     the Author Doesn't Really Get

I.
Tedious, inaccurate
with a Marxist leaning.

An attempt
     to be
the first Academic
     to acknowledge
the new developments
by drowning them
in academic babbling.

Had no idea what I was getting into.

Actually thought it was an anthology
and I'd just have to make it
through a silly introduction.

This is why i shy
away from buying books
on Kindle

fro more than a few dollars.

if i could just turn back the clock :(


II.
I'd just have to make it through
          a silly introduction

This is why i shy away 
          from buying books on Kindle 


III.
Tedious, inaccurate
with a Marxist leaning. 
Te deum, incarnate
with his marks is learning. 
Teddylicious, in a curate
with a Max who's leering. 
Tedentious, in a cute
whiff of Marist leaping. 
Tim's devious, in a crate:
whether Mark is leaving. 


IV.
Things the Author Doesn't Really Get:
money, sex, fame, recognition, respect, gratitude, a new car, a position in the pantheon of gods, a variety of products for testing purposes.


V.
if i could just turn back the clock :(
back the clock back the clock back the clock

if i could just turn back the clock :(
back the clock back the clock back the clock

if i could just turn back the clock :(
back the clock back the clock back the clock

(nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah) repeat


V.
fro more than a few dollars
i could just turn back the clock

fro more than a few dollars
i could drown them in academic babbling

fro more than a few dollars
i could have no idea what i was getting into

fro more than a few dollars
i could make it through a silly introduction


VI.
An attempt to be
the first drowning anthology
