kumar introduced himself to carol a poli-sci girl and asked how she viewed the academic level at uc. she asked what he was thinking about and he said it had degenerated, a guy there has formed his whole thesis on public defecation. i missed the first part and looked up at defecation and carol's face was priceless. i said i got to move, and it ended there and k. said i knew i should have left two minutes ago. and i had the same experience with carol with the word anarchy, so i reassured him it wasn't just k., or the thesis of public defecation, which i myself have often thought of, how people do poop out here in the peoples' parks and how we gots to pick up after the dogs and beware the human, and keep the dogs clear, and the difference, whoa, it's quantum, so i've written about it here before, my slip-shod thesis of happenstance, so while i looked at carol a minute and felt embarrassed for k. i actually thought why yes it is interesting, even if i too am surprised at the academic credibility. it was carol's incredulity that stuck then, as it did when i talked about the integrity of anarchy. so i was happy to walk on with k. and while carol cleared her head and unfurled her brow.
