The Academia Game
Caught into the whirlpool of
Abstract Mode.
She was writing abstracts for work,
for admission to conferences
for competitions and
exhibitions.
Became so abstracted that
she became very good at writing
these paragraph length
bite size chunks of research
concentrated information.
She forgot how to write deep,
how to write long
and how to write wide.
She is in the research zone
but so far away from a
conclusion of any kind,
a standing up stance of any
sort
or a side to come down on.
She is with it
but running to catch up
collecting seeds of information
all useful stuff
and gathering it into her research
basket,
only to throw it away over her
shoulder as she moves on to other seeds.
Jumping to catch a glimpse over
a tall crowd of authors and thinkers
She thinks she is getting it
but is it just the foot
of an elephant?
