Capitol Campus Revisited
by Romeo Trajanus
School today, Lord save me.
I traverse the landscape
to sojourn here;
A stay in hell looks ever nicer
as the day wears on.
The halls are dark, full of some kind of death;
It stifles me, killing my brebth
as it fills me with dread;
I’d rather be home in bed,
or at least in a casket, safely dead.
Capitol Campus men call it,
Well I call it hell,
thought there are worse names for it;
Those who are here want and wish to go,
those who go gladly never return.
‘Why 1 , one asked me, ‘is this so?’
‘Why do people so dislike this place?
do they not come to learn and know?’
‘Wbir, say I, reassuringly reproachful,
‘you DO have a lot to learn, J0e....
“We All hate it!”
1 Dream with Wide-Eves
I dream with wide-eyes
of how we lie together,
very naked, on your bed
wrapped warm in the quilt
holding each other
in gentle whispers
and telling one another
our very silly & longkept secrets
that mirror the air
whenever evening comes.

High Cost
of Coffee Drinking
Palos Hills, 111. (CPS) - The
staff at Moraine Valley
Community College will no
longer be provided with free
coffee because, according to
Wayne Crawford, vice president
of business services, they are
drinking $20,000 worth of
coffee a year.
According to coffee catering
services, that means about 1.2
million cups (with cream and
sugar) are guzzled by the small
college staff each year.
Does that sound right?

Soggy French Fries
As I sat in the campus
cafeteria today contemplating a
recently purchased dish of
french fries, the disc jockey on
WZAP Radio expressed the hope
that her listeners were enjoying
what resembled the lunch they
were eating.
I can’t begin to number the
times I’ve echanged a quarter
only to find a group of
half-baked, soggy, disgusting
french fries.
I can hardly believe the
culinary abilities of Servomation
employees can be so poor. How
long can the student body allow
such a deplorable situation to
exist? Doesn’t anybody really
care about the shit we eat?
I’ve had enough !!

C.C. READER
you are not
forgiven
You eat my tongue
while listening to your steak
for revelations
You line your drawers
with massive paintings
pointed with agonized effort
toward one thought
both known and knowable
while searching for truth
in the meaningless scribblings
of an uncaring child
You beat your mule for eggs
while your chickens rot
in their coops
You may eat my tongue
but with every chew
my gouging fingers
draw closer to your eyes
and when you swallow
I will rip them from your sockets
and pop them like pimples
on the road beneath my feet
But only for my satisfaction
You have already blinded yourself
Your ignorance
and your undefined terms
are the nails that keep you
crucified to your failure.
P.R.J. Smith
In Powdered
Dreams
In powdered dreams
I reach out
for destiny’s sigh
and the shape
I should become.
That succulent breath
is pure future,
moist and chockfull
as the crowded scenes
and things of spring.
I toss for motion
within my mollusk mind
to bring me
to myself
so the grave may be
closed.

The
Linda Lovelace Sucks
Why is it that we can never have the apple and eat it too? Either
they make an excellent film interjected with unnecessary sex scenes
or they make a sex flick interjected with horrendous acting. “Deep
Throat,” measures down to the latter
Linda Lovelace’s acting was about as shallow as her thrroat was
deep. Once she opens her mouth to express her plight or
dissatisfaction over an incomplete sexually fulfilling life, she reveals
that she is only qualified in expressing herself from the depths of her
throat--and with her mouth full at that! A fantastic feat indeed,
but soon wearies the viewers despite the added sound affects of bells
and bombs.
Just as wearisome are some of the lines--“ Try it you’ll like it” or
“You’ve got all the equipment you’ll ever need” -- come on now!
The fact that “Deep Throat” was shown in such an unthinkable
area as Hershey, Pa. can be seen as a step forward for porno flicks. It
seems that they are finally leaving the barracks and dorms of our
society. But all the gloss of “Playboy” magazine won’t help the
move if what is being produced are flicks of such low quality as
“Deep Throat.” At best, “Deep Throat” is nothing but a stupid
comedy that appeals to purient interest.
Jn my estimation, Lovelace wasn’t the only one who blew it.
