AH, PROFESSOR
ah Professor, Professor
your students
eschew reading
see books
(courtesy of TikTok
science fiction)
as things
wholly alien
set on
sublime modes
of mind control
even
devouring as
yet unwired brains
and some of these books
are fat tomes of sheer boredom
too heavy to
carry
impossible to read
unless you
mentally photostat
each page skimming
through them
at lightspeed
or have
the entire text
condensed
into
blue pill
or red pill
to crunch like a
jelly bean
flavoured to taste
