Manzano Mountain Review
the university
by Heather Wood
there’s no such thing as experience –
just talk and introductions
and diagrams
of the cosmos, the movements
and cycles of the world
outside.
people outside moving and shaking making
the world go around, us studying
their motions, judging at
cocktail parties with cheap red wine and
old corduroy blazers,
knit ties
and Romanian poetry.
