I think I will laugh, today, right now,
Hearing a funny tale,
I think I will sleep well, tonight, all night,
The wind blowing up a gale.
***
I think I will love, this hour, this day,
Watching the perfect sun rise,
I think you can hold me, right now, somehow,
Gazing up at the starry skies.
***
I think I will go, not now, quite soon,
The full moon is on the wane,
I think I will die, sometime, somewhere,
Taking with me my pain.
***
I think I shall cry, today, one hour,
Laying huddled in my bed,
I think I will talk, quite soon, tonight,
Remembering all that I said.
***
I think we shall meet, some day, quite soon,
Cupid once more in play,
I think we could love, not now, too soon,
I think we could love, some day.

My first love is poetry — it’s like a desperate need to write, to free up space in my mind, to escape the constant noise in my head. Most of the time the poems write themselves — I’m just the conduit holding the metaphorical pen.

Trickle Them Down, But Not Out
The thing about smart people is that they should know better, but alas, intelligence is not the same as wisdom. Not only do the mistakes of experts too short on vision—when they are not corrected—have the potential to do great and far-reaching damage, but they also undermine public confidence in the very notion of expertise. This is particularly so when expertise is wielded in defence of the rich and powerful as a cudgel against those laid low. As an academic, this lack of faith in “so-called experts” is painful to see as it plays out in the spread of dis-/misinformation, conspiracy theories, and anti-intellectualism writ large. But it is also an understandable impulse given the catastrophic failure of an economic ideology pushed by certain economic experts. Supply-side economics has shaped a broken system for the last half-century and has arguably done more to undermine the fabric of the American Dream than any policy framework of the past century.
