On University Reform, II
Where, then, will the phoenix nest?
In the ghetto's graveyard next?
In the ghetto's graveyard next?
Or is she also tattered, vile
Done in by her immortal smile?
Done in by her immortal smile?
Could the cardinal her seduce
Erotic dance by fire preclude
Inebriating moments sweet
Thrashing on her bed bequeath
Yet another timeless form
Idea awaiting to be born
Child of the season's storm
Heir of ashes multiform.

Will the phoenix be pursued
By the Ranges' firewood
Will she stoop and thus determine
Survival for this generation?

Will she stoop and thus determine
Survival for this generation?
Perhaps you gentlemen would suggest
That the cardinal find her nest
Forgetting briefly ancient bias
Ghetto's sadness, Asian madness
Poverty, illiteracy, denial
While the phoenix is defiled.

Ghetto's sadness, Asian madness
Poverty, illiteracy, denial
While the phoenix is defiled.
I have found the cardinal's home
Here beneath you mouldering tomb
I would lure the phoenix here
Set the cardinal on her here
To defile her ancient womb
Thus to guarantee rebirth
Logos rising from the dead.
