excerpt from music to my ears
john devine

my meanderings into the shaded grove of poetry seemed like the perfect escape from my father’s medical mumbo jumbo until i realized in college that my literature professors often sounded as poetic as a ten-car pileup. i recall in particular one professor who asked us to read a poem by alexander pope called the r-ape of the lock, a humorous poem about a young man who cuts off a wisp of a young woman’s hair. sounds pretty straightforward, right? well, before i knew what was what, my young professor demanded that i “deconstruct” the poem and analyze it for evidence of what she called “commodity fet-ishism.” “i want to read the thing,” i told her, “not pull it apart.” and when i asked her what commodity fet-ishism was, she looked at me as if i were some inferior life form. “look it up! ” said she, frowning. i had to pull an all-nighter to finish that assignment in time. it wasn't long before she had me writing a paper on the evils of eurocentric curricula. i finally put my foot down when she demanded that i attend her lecture on the perils of islamaphobia.
