Yes, but who are the living poets
Unanthologized Americans
nameless faceless
titleless
acronyms
Yes, but who are they, those
without voicemail
nameplates
office doors
Who are those non-tenure non-track
who teach most of the classes
"Assistants" assisting no one
"Associates" without associations
"Visiting" citizens
paying year leases a day at a time
Use the word "adjunct" in a sentence.
Make it sound natural.
Academia eats its young.
Who will tell them they had more job security
when they were waiting
tables
Who are the hated teachers of required courses
Who talks about Iraq to ROTC kids
Who talks about abortion to Catholics
Who talks about the University's racist mascot with athletes
Who will rehire them?
WILL TEACH
FOR FOOD |
