Head

filled with different kinds of wrongness

rightness and onscreen brightness

squared aye by large numbers

two points resistance to three points

superstructural solutions in a liquid solid

prescriptive rhetoric dangling –

derivate of alchemy

writing and speaking grammatically

scrupulously, a stuck-up ass

coalesce around the word ‘yes’

a dependent clause

dehumanizing the common man

no contradiction to say

it doesn’t have to be that way

the trouble you find

the virtue of the troubling kind

move away and ask

who are you spoken for?

An independent clause.

A get out clause for the common man is what we need. Cluase in the title, no clause for alarm but is that deliberate?

I enjoyed the rythym of this. It reminds of the Beatnik style of spoken word.

The poem reminds m of my students the erratic thought stream mixed with words that do have a meaning but all out of context. The really funny thing is they think this kind of thing is in fact correct mathematics. Very sad really. They even quote the page numbers in the exams. They memorise the proofs verbatim, also, apparently maths?

I like that tom, it doesn't make sense, but it kinda rolls with an inner logic no one can read.

Especially Abstract Algebra and Complex Analysis works well, you may call it Psychedelic Analysis or Complex Field Theory or Functional Analysis namit. Almost essentially impossible to mark the exams, oh yes graph theory, that one is really nasty it's got nothing to do wth graphs.

Keep well! Tom
