‘You have lost your Third World touch!’
When he heard I talk of Derrida and Foucault
He first thought they were Tamil Terrorists
When I explained who they were
He said:
‘Be pragmatic
Look for simplicity
Philosophy is dead and nutty.
Literature doesn’t make you rich
Try and improve on your accent
Consider doing a MBA.’
He showed me the key to his new office car
I walked to the station.
