The academic, close to middle-age
He optimizes his life
between university, home, books, wife
summer drinks on the patio; slaves
away at his desk on Kondratieff waves
and Phillips Curves
and hopes he gets what he deserves.
I was always brought up to believe that a gentleman would not inflict his poetry on someone without also writing a review essay on Steven Levitt's Freakonomics. I'm on it.
