3 AM History of Civilization

I have been going through over a decade of stuff in the last month. Here's a poem I just found from my freshman year of college, and yes, it was written while cramming for a test. Fun times.


 3 AM History of Civilization

So this guy Polykeitos
was at the Doryphoros
and his mathematical preciseness was --
-- urban.
What?  I thought
he had a spear
well not anymore.
Now he has a
door -- for us.
Are you sure it isn't urban.
No. it is marble, though
it used to be copper.
Pennies.  A one-cent spear-bearer?
No.  Polykleitos' Doryphoros.

Very clever! It is always fun to find something you wrote in the past.
