The High Coup

In an effort to illustrate the sublime aestheticism of the Shimer classroom, I have essayed to capture some of the more salient moments of recent class discussions in that most ephemeral of poetic forms, the haiku. Feel free to contribute everybody. Also, to avoid in-joke snobbery in this public forum, the poet’s comments will be provided if solicited.

 

From Soc1:

   Anthropology?

      Fieldwork is so tedious…

   Rely on Fortune.

 

   Ego Projection,

  Confirms this cosmic struggle.

   Back offa my yams!

 

From Hum1:

 

   Oh passionate Bach,

    In was für Missetaten,

       Bist du geraten?

 

And from IS2:

 

   Like, ~[E ^ (~R)],

      =>(~E) v R.

    E=>R, man!

 

Where E ≡ Santa Claus has elves

and R ≡ Santa Claus has reindeer.

 

Translated:

 

   Santa Claus does not

  Have no elves. The Reindeer sitch?

     It’s looking good.

 

(thank you Dorothy for this bit of unassailable logic).
