Cerebral aerobatics
performed in academic gymnasium.
Mind dazed by bouncing
upon erudite trampoline.
Conscious spins in twisted perceptions
until sheepskin mats of mental exercise
are seen as Olympic medals.
Reality becomes
handstand arrogance
of feigned omniscience
expecting perfect ten reactions.
