back in 2004, year 1 at Edinburgh,
i only knew two Polacks on
campus, namely...
   this one guy who received
a Coca Cola scholarship -
****** had this nag of correcting
me on my use of Paul-leash,
like my mother was German
and my father Russian...
******* annoying...
             growing up in England
isn't exactly nagging
practice... more like a mosquito bite...
annoying as ****,
seeing the transformation,
watching this country become
a ******* punching-bag...
   sad, as, ****...
              esp. with a ******...
ooh... gives you the shivers,
straight off...
                    then come second
year? a surge of ****** enrollments
at the university...
why? or rather, how?
a loop-hole...
            E.U. citizens walked away
with a university education,
but paid no tuition fees...
me?
   ****!
            i just became a British citizen...
although i still had a Polish
citizenship, because, what?
i was born on the ******* moon?!
so i had to pay the tuition fees
that English students paid...
from Leicestershire, Devon,
or... Shropshire (ex Russian girlfriend?
love that word in my mouth...
she was basically gagging me
to call her crumpet... ah... sweet dreams
of a past and what appears
to be the river of Heraclitus)...
          but there's no Jewish lawyer
out there, to make me fiddle out
of my student debt,
considering i hold dual-citizenship?
****, common social lexicon
is one thing,
but a thesaurus overdrive on
the law spreschen of nuance
and synonym play?
   synonym play?
    oh, you know...
when you call something red...
but someone else comes in
and says, red?
   are you sure it wasn't
cardinal red, or crimson,
or burgundy?
           that ****...
                if i didn't receive
my British citizenship
  prior to enrolling into Edinburgh...
and Poland joined the E.U. in
2003?
          "technically": because
i don't actually know what technicality
means at this point...
     i'm walking debt free...
               alas... the mismatching
time reference on what
still constitutes "technically legal"
apparatus terms & conditions...
so what's why so many Polacks
infiltrated the higher education system
in Scotland...
   the pay-off...
    free education for all E.U. citizens...
my peers can gloat all they want...
   sometimes:
   you learn to abhor your countrymen,
and all for, the right reasons...
intellectual smugness i can take,
hell, i rather enjoy it!
            that smug look
akin to dr. steve turley's face?
like you've just licked a **** of butter
out a cured and smoked
   pig's ****?
   my kind of ****...
           the smugness of:
oh look, i'm doing better than you...
hmm... different story...
given the knowledge of the apparatus
in place...
             that hindered me,
and you're playing a game of me being
on a handicap score bias...
    lap it up...
      like the good leashed dog
that you are.
