AH, PROFESSOR

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
