pedagogy


the university’s infiltrated
we stand on the corner
watch the demonstration

the street where we catch
the bus once blocked
by stations of the cross
now stopped by students
in masks
               not real
students we stand
on the corner watch eat
hot dogs with chips
pineapple jam
               
            business men in suits stand
on the corner watch

            cops roll down
the avenue mean
business in their suits

                                    maybe
on the news tonight maybe
not

            need to go to work
so reluctantly depart

             start to
teach

            explosive
potatoes shock the
air
                 no-
body can hear
