fifteen: fresh air


Dead Week began today, students have officially reached saturation point, and new knowledge is formally banned until spring.
The forecast mirrors this: a week of rain and temperatures dropping into the low thirties.
Student protesters are still sending flash-mob texts that this semester will be the end of public education.
Today though there is a moment of sunshine and fresh perspective as one bold professor preaches bravely about the institutionalization of fear as a means by which the rich elite controls poor masses.
It’s free for all in earshot, refreshing for students who could use a break in the storm.
