CityOnce you walked out uninvited on the streets of Manhattan. The streets, they heaved and retched and spat you back out.  
 
This was at the City’s orders.   
You lay regurgitated on the sidewalk, with a violent crack in your spine. You were shaken like a whip. The City, she stands over you wearing an expression of distaste and grim satisfaction. Inaudibly she speaks into her cell phone. You raise yourself up on one elbow and discover that the Port Authority looks on gleaming above you, a silent bulky monster in the dark. It stands as witness to your distress. Shh, it says, I sympathize, but don’t tell her.

at this corner, I can buy  you a drink and we’ll talk.  
About what? you said, looking  beyond me, your eyes on the lights  of the Port Authority building and the signs  that kept trying to tell us  location. Approaching  Eighth Avenue. All the time I kept thinking  those shrimp were so good, that we ate  
at that bar in the theatre district. This still is  the theatre district, again – but that was  the first flush of twenty-one, swaying  
arms linked through the streets and punch-drunk  on a lack  of limits, though I poure Hagiography

 It was kindergarten. We were sitting under a painted rainbow.  
 
 “You could change it all now, you know,” she said.  
 
 I looked at her. “Change what?” I said. My face was smudged with crayon and little-girl curiosity.  
 
 “Your life,” she said. “You could change what happens later. In a few years you won’t like it very much. Do you want to change it?”   
 “Why?” I asked, worried. “What happens?”   
 She shrugged. “Nothing much, really. Nothing horrible.”    Endings

Ignobility: II. STYLOBATES MARMOREUS   
      The pedestal was empty. To its side  stood she who just had occupied the stand –  
a plinth of smoothest marble, white as wings  
of birds, the flocks that wheeled overhead.  
She was Marie of Datoíri, chief  ambassador for all that region known  
as the Imaginary Planets –  faméd  clime. This league of five small planets had  seceded, as we know, from all the rest,  
so that it might provide a haven and  
asylum for all those in discontent  
with customs of the ordinary world.

I agree with some of his points: interdisciplinary work to examine real problems, more interaction between departments, less hyper-specialization, and the abolition of tenure. However, he assumes that learning is inherently a means to an end, and I disagree with that. I find the ideas of web-based theses and departments called "Water" or "Body" a bit suspect.

It's a difficult topic, how academia should relate to the real world.
