the book the brick
that isn't
the library that
isn't the building
that, somehow becomes
a... sponge:
implosion of
of a building, a library,
a brick, a book:
ergo spongia;

hardly
a compensation
for what
is the
adequate
exfoliation
of a man's
memory bank...

in what is...
the institutionalized,
purposive:
attack on
the free man's
faculty of memory...

scholastic rubrics
of spelling,
algebra...

hell... if an institution
is to errode the man,
and come the: automaton...

sure... defecate
upon the altar of memory...
no wonder
the anglo-saxon
sought escape in dreams,
armed with a sword
that became...
the Freudian sword
(*****)
and the Freudian
                 flower (******)...

no!
     the anglo-saxons
showed what
becomes of erroding
the faculty of memory of man...

me?
i'm tired of heaping more
sand on the already
apparent sand dune:
which, if i ******
on it...
could become a pyramid!

no...
modern education is
an acid thrown upon man
to: function without memory...
since...
the modern life is...
bombarded by an over-expression
of an imagination
that doesn't materialize...
modern imagination
doesn't materialize
into a technological
output of:
    *** malleus venio clavus...

láter "contra" spongia:
qualis liber?
i.e. in the metaphorical
array of casual phrasings
of English teachers...

   ****!
i can't reingage with
the internet narrative!
