Last Night Was a Night of I Know Nothings

Last night was a night of I know nothings.
Surrounded by scholars,
  friends
in their final year at the University
with me.

It began with one wrong;
spark ten.
     Redden, blush
     the heated rush -
           so I blend into the couch
             and fork rice into my mouth.

Listen, eyes
wide
as discussion turns
to French dictators and
literary craft of the 19th century.


When the moment comes to prove
your status among them,
then say something so
ambiguous
   it must be true

and quite insightful.
