“Matt’s Doctoral Thesis Outline” By Matt Hubert © 2007
Got my BA in BS.
(Keep reading, you’ll see).
They called me
| Auto | M | I see. |
| Charis | A | I see. |
| Diplo | T | I see. |
| Enig | T | I see. |
but yet
they never called me.
Overdramatic poetry Act I:
She loves me.
She hugs me.
She bugs me.
She dumps me.
Overdramatic poetry Act II:
Distance makes the heart…(yawn).
Give thanks, break bread. Break up.
She drinks. I think.
Fight scene, play mean.
Overdramatic poetry Act III
Seventeen reasons
to smile—namely one date
playing on heaven’s
highlight reel tape.
Dramatics are over. Act your age.
Age of innocence?
…ignorance?
…eloquence?
…common sense?
Common sense can make millions
because millions lack common sense.
Problematic formula of the future:
Not knowing + not caring
Care enough to know enough to care
to stop
the namecalling,
emo scrawling
parade of pity poetry.
