doesn't anyone think that
Lindsay Shepherd
would be a naturally befitting
example of a Kayan woman...
neck like a giraffe...
point being, i'm listening
to all these youtube videos
through my earphones...
but i'm also hearing the rain
falling...
          youtube commentaries 1,
the sound of falling rain, 2;
i'm actually lucky to have
studied in uni,
my D.O.S. (director of
studies) was kinda of lenient on
me... after our first interview
i recognized one of the postcards
in his office... Philip Camp...
like... high-school was translated
into university...
      the postcard?
i asked him:
isn't that an Edward Hopper?
i was lucky to go to university
            during the Labor ordinance
of premiership...
£1,750 the average,
for tuition fees per year...
but not so lucky...
being pushed to go to uni...
i should have dropped out of
schooling aged 16,
and learned, something useful,
like my quasi-friend turned
carpenter semi-intellect...
who now owns a house...
a season pass to the Spurs matches...
while me, intelligent dumb
idiot get...
               a chance to fill up a blank
slate... and digress on Dostoyevsky...
jealousy unto the gods...
while rancid humor... unto the mortals...
i want to be jealous...
but i am no god...
  what i can exemplify,
is what i already categorized...
rancid... humor.
- but i look at a girl like Lindsay...
and i know she has been robbed...
she didn't get what my £1,750 paid
for... around 12 hours a week
of chemical experiments...
practical...
               western education is a farce...
the higher you climb,
the further you fall...
                wish lady luck
to stamp you with what
promotes diversity...
                 otherwise...
  a degree in chemistry...
a job at the supermarket...
  that was my only option...
        should have stuck it out
with my father in the industrial roofing
"tirade"...
                 why the ****
did i go to university?
i've learned more by myself!
