Later, so
2007, early autumn.
"Find me, find me,”
I heard upon the
wind. That voice from
some drunk night smoking
corner, that nook of
fearsweat and flirtation as
Chad and Brantley and
Alexander hurried onward clutching
‘Property Law’ to heart,
and we spouted nonsense.
“Find me” it said,
fifteen years later, so
it did.

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.

Only you can write a poem with "property law" in it and still have it take my breath away with the rhythm. 10/10
Magnificent love poem!!!
Impressive work to capture a narrative and deliver an emotional impact in a 50 word poem! Very well done, Conor!
So brilliant ♦️🏆♦️❤️
You're back! Great to see you writing here again. I hope you enter that historical fiction coming up. I think you could do it brilliantly.
Great work…
