Napkin Poem

1st baseball game @ tiger
stadium I booed the
national anthem to
be silly cuz there
was a moment of silence
The shock of the sound
was surprising - I was
wearing a Los Angels hat
that I bought in the
parking lot - I was 9.

So I had a student give me a note the other day. It roughly said that since it is summer quarter I assume that students don’t want to be in class, but many of them actually enjoy being in class. Either way she shows up late the next day.

As I’m reading over her first essay on the military industrial complex and the Jarecki film Why We Fight, she writes in her intro, “One of the most recent wages of war was September 11^th where Iraq waged war on the U.S. by bombing the twin towers in New York.”

WTF!
