In fact, it used to be a joke if you studied at a University.

me too
i do not know who Adria Moya is
or was
or be, as she claims to be
she says she is alive
(how sweet)
but she is not liking my liking her
at 67
and me at 76,
(oops my nose is stretching)
it is not that bad
i can still manage
i am a
Doctor of Loss
it may be unethical to ask a Lady
her age
but i think
i need to know her real name, if she obliges
and from what university did she earn
her
Ph.D. in Stalkery?
I had mine at the University of Loss Vegos.
(ha ha ha, just a joke for the night in your place, Adria
it is noontime in mine)

Agrarian Unrest....
my father is a landlord.
He sent me to a big university in the city.
I studied philosophy.
The university taught me about equality.
Compassion. We studied existentialism
The poverty of the masses.
The agrarian unrest.
The essence of man
The quality of life
Justifications of living
Explanations of death
After life.
I wrote a class report about a child who ate
only a handful of rice for breakfast
plus brown sugar as viand
and then a glass of water for his thirst
from the nearby river
and then he was left in the house
as his father works in the field
and his mother
sells vegetables in the market.
When i left the child, The
heavy silence of the world fell upon my shoulder.
One day father took me for a vacation in our land.
There are mountains. Lots of trees.
A beautiful place.
There is a house there
Dilapidated. A tenant lives there
There is a hungry child.
Drought. Long hot days.
I pity the poor condition. But i no longer ask for the cause.
Then the tenant asks me if i can give him land.
Or a part of father's land.
I have no answer.
I could have told him, I do not own anything,
I do not live here
and father is still alive...
And wants me to be firm and cruel.

Life As Sequencing
i was born on January of 1961
on the 29th day
i grew up in a little barrio
there were no books
but there were many trees there
then i was sent to a city school
studied hard and consistently
made to the top of the class
then i went to a university
studied the sciences, religion and the arts
lots of philosophy in there
and poetry
then i got employed
by some notable companies
where i earned money
where i got a name
where i learned the language of
diplomacy and survival
then one day, in noticed that in this
sequencing of my life
something has gone wrong
it is not the marriage
it is something else, it something that
you also know, the missing link
one that makes you wish
you were dead
one that makes you numb
the reason why you have sleepless nights
and lousy mornings
it is this link that gives you a feeling of loss
and grief
this emptiness that stays in your stomach
you are not hungry
you just feel it
it is the same feeling you have now
and you know very well why

It Is A Joke
it is a joke
and it will always be
a joke
that how it is,
it is a joke, my own joke, and i laugh
when i remember it,
i send it to you and you send it back
like a ping-pong ball
it bounces and i see it coming
back to me
it hits me right in my eyes
got double vision, cross-eyed
i am hurt. It is not a joke anymore.
it is here beside
a tear, a bruise, stained and scarred.

Lies
Baby
What do I do
Playing my tune for you
Just to get you in the mood
Everybodys going to hollywood
Youre driving me mad
But Im smiling to the crowd instead
A lot of money is at stake, this is a hit and thats a fake
This is what you mean to me
This is what they all should see
Make a make up in a foolish style
Telling the truth by making a big lie
When I come, I come but nothings at ease
Breaking up the whole is a modern disease
Maybe you think tomorrows just a joke
Its a joke after joke after joke after joke
My love
Everythings an interview
And nothings really new
And everybodys looking for clues and you know what to do with a clue
My love
Get ready for the show
Theyre waiting and they will never go
This night is just a go
And its only for show
Dig that deal and be a millionaire
Drinking cocktails in the stratosphere
Getting jetlagged with my business friends in these supersonic wonderlands
Theres a flicker on the graphic display, first hes smiling then hes fading away
Maybe he thinks tomorrows just a joke
Its a joke after joke after joke after joke

A little joke thats understood
All over the world
A little joke thats understood
Its all over and over and over and over
And dying is dry-
Like a fact of history
And when you die, youll become
Something worse
Than dead-
Youll become
A legend
We are forever

Violence or the threat of violence must never be permitted to influence the actions or judgments of the university community. Once it does, the community, almost by definition, ceases to be a university. It is for this reason that from time immemorial expulsion has been the primary instrument of university discipline.

Leave and let it be
I have experienced life
in varying times
was forced to war,
was rich and poor,
studied at university,
learned from live
and much more from great men.
Whatever life brings and the oppression
done by government, or my fellow man:
take every thing
even my job, my cars
the way that I earn a living
but leave and let it be: my life,
my shirt, pants, shoes and wife.

Academics often discount the value of top-rated sports programs in helping to develop a campus life and in contributing to the overall success of a college or university. Like it or not, the sports programs a college or university has are the front page of that university.

Looking toward Bozeman
The peak is named after the native American
woman who accompanied Lewis and Clark
on their epic journey across north America
Sacajawea rises into the blue Montana sky
not far from Bozeman and the state university
where I studied outdoor literature once
Like reading for the first time a sonnet
by John Keats I looked over the peaks
toward Bozeman and knew I was home!
