My Professor

He speaks as if his every sentence deserves its own recognition.
Like the president giving his State of the Union Address.
"Rousseau speaks of the ethical interpretation of citizenship....


This entails acting with the good of the community in mind."

Accept there is no applause.
Just stares.


Waiting for the next bullet point in the notes.

His folded hands sit rested on his corpulent figure.

"Legally as citizens of the United States....


Then there is the notion...of due process...granted.....to the..........members of the state.......its citizens.

Smiling.
No Smirking.
This smirk I've seen before.
He believes that he has a superior intellectual capacity.
It is as if his smirk signifys his belief that exactly no sitting in the seats in front of him well ever reach their so called "potential."

"Telos is....


The latin root which means.....the good....or the end...."

But inside,
I am smirking too.
