Excellent.
"Long Term Suffering."
There will be no examination in long term suffering.
The course will come to an end as planned.
I have found that examinations are useless,
We have altogether too short a time to spend.
Time, ladies and gentlemen is the great examiner.
I have discovered that this is true.
It is what you write as you go through the course
Is the only determinant and determinator of you.
Long term suffering is for those of all ages
in our tussling university, our bulging classroom.
It may be that I will profess near madness,
it may be that you will write out your doom.
All that you will have at the end of the course
is writing you indict or poems you make if you make them.
Words, words in a sea flow, at any rate a lot of heartbreak.
Save your papers.
It may be that years later, 40 maybe
you would like to look back at your course in long term
suffering and note how strangely you had to act.
