The Cosmos is A Lonely Place in A Graduate School Seminar on Critical Theory (#3)

Kenneth DiMaggio

Like parasites
on the belly
of some predator

Who could convolute
an already
over-convoluted thinker?

Meanwhile across
campus at the business
school it’s all just
nouns & verbs
and I presume
plenty of sex

What is a research paper
at this point
but a letter of contempt
for post-industrial
Capitalism?

Baudrillard was right

Because Captain America’s
shield is digital

The hand-tempered bronze
armor of Achilles is
the simulacra

The seminar will end
without anyone but
ourselves reading
our own words

How much better off was
Rome when the Vandals
carved & hacked its great
marble edifices
