Sociology


is the study of

patterned and recurring behaviour

is it though?

I have my feelings, I think

 

in tubs under the stairs

notebooks from Third and Fourth Years

the more doodles in the margins

the better I did in those classes

 

a portrait of C. Wright Mills

not his head and shoulders but his

accoutrements: thick black glasses

a motorcycle jacket

 

a memory from First Year:

Diane Wakoski’s “Uneasy Rider”

a break-up poem from our Norton

(on paper thin enough to roll joints with) 

 

Mills is as relevant as ever

his analysis of privilege and the structures

of power -- Wakoski too, though who

among us is in it for the long ride
