Advice for college

 

if all else fails pretend to know latin

in infactum

si bium

canibus tu rio

intellectual course

new drug of old proportions

sit back and enjoy the conversation

maybe perspective will be added

if nothing else you have demonstrated your intelligence

(the proof of education)

rambling around in circles

going no where

except...

faked feminism goes miles with the patriarchal female

Zing

Zane

Zoom

cherry perfume

chess

Chai

She calling you dady

And your knee deep in thigh

thinking

damn my a*s has gotten huge

mirror reflection of consciousness

past omniscient

tell them

tell them you read Tchaikovsky

Listened to Tolstoy

finished war and peace

(cover to cover without skipping a page)

memorize

mesmerize

bull s**t

they haven’t read it either

next stop

religion

say you’re an atheist

( but open minded enough to accept all truths of all religions, except Christianity)

tell people niche

(pronounce correctly and correct mispronunciations)

died from heart failure

make up whatever you want

no one has time to research anything anyway

not like they’ll check your sources

who has time

tell them

tell them the mole on they’re neck looks cancerous

act concerned

know who not to f**k with

(literally)

and when the bulgy queen asks how you can be a woman

without shaving

smile and say

qu’est que c’est

which means f**k off in french

and when he gives you a dumb look

tell him

tell him that you are a liberated woman

and don’t need to meet feminine beauty standards

social mores

bigoted notions

stereo types

or any thing else

out side yourself

to know who you are

then laugh

call him a misogynist

and split

learn not to be honest with strangers

tip well

(in kind if need be)

speaking as much as possible

(while saying as little as possible)

annoy everyone who hates you

hate everyone who annoys you

f**k the indifferent

(figuratively)

and if all else fails pretend to know latin

Author's Note

This is meant to be preformed rather than just read. Each break is meant to read as a comma, while parenthesis are intended as full break.

I enjoyed the poem, i think you could have used stanzas to break up the poem instead of so jumbled together!
