For Suki

There is nothing you can do about it any more. The university is always watching .It matters very little what you are doing ( or undoing) the university , invisible and silent, is watching you.Orwell or Foucault doesn't matter. You have learned about them in the university.And now Can you really turn the powerful instruments ( or weapons) of thought that these luminaries have given you towards the university itself ? of course not.....its a grand stage after all where you can stage all your fantasies of love and rebellion.


Dope, drink and fuck ( you can write poetry or even pretend to play the guitar to get laid) all you want, but there is no getting away from its claws. It has somehow convinced you that all sorts of "serious" thinking requires the legitimation of its ill-lit ( or shall we just say un-enlightened) lecture halls and labyrinthine corridors which are saturated with the rancid smell of power. But the truth is that you have been turned into a bunch of sleepwalkers ( in state of suspended animation or what i call hyper sleep) wandering aimlessly in the twilight near the ramparts of a crumbling mansion ( of God? Knowledge ?)


Thanks to a friend of mine.....I know the truth!!!


life begins neither at 22 nor at 28 ..it begins when thought succeeds in imaging a future beyond the hegemony of the university........
