education as arson

teach to forget
not to fall off the wagon

teach to abandon the bandwagon
better, douse it
torch those things that say
you are only this, in the inferno
contemplate the combustibility of thought
the matchstick fragility of complete explanations.
The capital C correct answer is a pipe bomb dream
unity, crisp manila and full of nails

teach revelation, from the ivory tower
the world can be explained to death
the risk is explaining death to the world.

Axel, I did see it, even though it isn't being shown in Vernon or Kelowna. It is mesmerizing, as you know.

Kryce, the poem is about hockey; read between the lines.

Between the lines, all I see are spaces.

"capital C" is Captain.
"matchstick fragility" is the composite sticks
"ivory tower" is referring to the GM
"death to the world" is the Philadelphia Flyers
it all makes sense now!
