Rolling Over Jack Kerouac

Diction, by Dr. Chung

Obligated to
Esteemed chancillors
who requested fiscal projections,
charts, unethical savvy

They obeyed and declined
All assistance

They obeyed and declined
All penalties

They Danced Deficits
For the martyr who
Pays threes in ducats and coinage
To see
Diversity and humor in those
Smart ass equations:
Growth, Duplicity

For the politicians
And slaves
Who loved shag carpeting
Turpentine, Prog-rock
Prose and sips of
Vodka over opened book

They Obeyed, oblivious
To the disquiet
Christmas tree
