ONEOF THE REASONS


When I taught Constitutional Law a djinn
Audited the course, sitting towards the back
When he grew bored he'd animate 
Small men made of fire and send them 
Scurrying around his chair. Sometimes 
They'd wander down the aisle
And strut behind me, imitating my gestures.
I blame this, partly, for the university's 
Refusal to grant me tenure or to now admit
I ever worked there
