The College Objective
Asking heavy questions about
inconsequential things. That’s
Humanities. Science finds
the animating nonsense. Fairy-
lands of Arts fog any goals, putz
around in marshmallows.
The Business School, of course,
features heavy lifting. Grounded
in philosophy of Galt. Halt-
ing dingbats and dancers
at the door. In Engineering
nothing changes in the mind.
Should have kept the slide-rule.

Mapping the Humanities
Easier with the web but
in my scholar days, I'd
grab a pile of books
from library stacks. Then
the fun of blending
to assist my own design.
"But how could you write
on this matter without
quoting Swirtzky?"
How indeed! What I have to add
to knowledge is primarily me.
If I’m the hack, so be it. Fatigued
Germanic method stifles all,
though its deadening
thoroughness impresses
a few professors
as the game to go.
In truth, I a bit halfass,
they, wood. Turned
out well enough.
