A Very Academic Essay About A Word.


You write a word. A word as complicated as you can possibly imagine it. And then a word. And then another word. 

And then a word.

And then a word.

And then a word.

And then a word.

And then a word.

And then a word.

And then a word.

And then a word.

Of course each of those words have to be as complicated as you can possibly imagine them, otherwise you’re not writing a decent academic essay.
And when you have assembled many words, you reread your work. You read your word.

And then your word.

And then your word.

And then your word.

And then your word.


And then your word.

And then your word.

And then your word.

And then your word.

And then your word.

And then your word.

And then your word.

When you’re done reading your words, and admiring yourself for making up so many complicated words, you read it again. This time from the view of the person who has to read the words you invented.

You read a word. And then a word. And then a word. And then a word. And then a word.


If you find out that the words you invented are so complex and vacuous that even you don’t understand what you wrote anymore, you have done a great job. Best you send it to an editor right away. And then get a real job, because you won’t be able to live from the five copies you are going to sell.
