you are the professor
by DIY Danna

You can build a Ham Radio out of coconuts

But you can’t figure out how to fall like leaves

Into the brown kraft paper to build a boat sailing

To the U.S. Virgin Islands on a three hour tour.

A hot damn cruise!

Teach me something you can’t learn

In metaphysics books and crush me like

An American Cookie in a pink plastic bag.

Yeah, I’ve got corny TV references,

and ridiculous hip hop metaphors.

And you’ve always had my heart.

Love, Gilligan.
