how to avoid actuality

Never trust a philosophy that's too polished    
life wouldn't like it.    
   
Let the word anthropologist hurt    
so that active involvement    
discourages the observer    
from poking a pen through experience    
   
never trust a poet    
   
unless it's too late,    
don't trust a poet.    
   
It is too late    
and there is no more poetry    
until the second smartest kid    
gets new shoes. The same one    
that will drink the most    
and have something worth saying  
when the rest have fallen away
