Poem of the Week
By Jared O. Maliga and Nathan Fisher

Man, this is poetry, dude. I am poetry. Poetry in motion, dude, poetry in motion.

Well, the aesthetic I believe in is a natural one.

These academics and intellectuals,
they really don't have any authority any more.
Which, I mean, is a good thing.
How could it be anything but a good thing?

>The aesthetic I believe in is reciprocity.
>Text is a muted speech-
>reflections of who we are.
>
>Poetry is a stylization of the word designed to evoke reaction
>regardless of content.
