Petty vandalism disappoints university officers once again
OXFORD—University of Miami police officers were displeased to find another poorly attempted act of vandalism on the side of a residential hall on campus early Monday morning.
A call was sent through to dispatch around 4 in the morning of a man wearing a Patagonia hoodie and Sperry’s walking around the building suspiciously.
According to Miami University officer, Stanley Bailey, the suspect was probably deciding the best place to put his eyesore of a masterpiece.
“This is the third time in two weeks that this has happened,” reported Bailey. “And the culprit is not getting any better. His graffiti is terrible.”
Though the motive is still unclear, sergeant Darfey suggested that it’s more than just petty vandalism.
“Whoever is doing this is doing it with little to no effort on purpose,” said Darfey. “We’re just sick of having to deal with vandalism of such poor quality.”
According to Darfey, vandalism on other campuses, such as Ohio State University or Dayton University, are much more highbrow and worthy of criminal charges.
“This is a joke,” exclaimed Darfey. “What is that even supposed to be? An eight ball? The moon? Whoever did this needs to take some art classes. That should be the punishment here.”
As the investigation continued throughout the morning, many other officers, as well as bypassing Miami students, looked onto the crime scene with confusion as to what the poorly scribbled doodle may mean.
“There’s no depth at all and the line perspective is all over the place,” critiqued Miami student, Sam Toodley after seeing the graffiti.
Speculation as to who has been defacing the walls of Miami resident halls continues but officer Bailey hopes the criminal is caught soon.
“We can’t allow such poorly skilled criminals to practice their artwork on our walls,” explained Bailey. “Miami has an image to uphold. This type of vandalism would be acceptable in Hamilton, but Miami deserves something better.”
An Abstract Poem
Hey guys, this post isn’t like my usual ones. I had to write an abstract poem for an english class I’m in and I don’t mean to toot my own horn, but I think it came out pretty cool.
This blog is a chance for me to express myself (and not just my goofy side, but my creative literary side as well). So be prepared for other creative pieces to show up now and again. 🙂
Enjoy.
Evolutionary Stimuli
Traversing toward the emissions
Of which one possesses
Potentiality
Being
Breath
The trajectory toward Death
Embryotic fluid suffocating my trepidation
Anticipating my own welcoming
The cellular disposition
Of my future foretold to me
By the distorted beast who bore me
Blurring past vitalized humanity
I am your mated marsupial
A dejection of nature
Left to Live
Thrive Destroy
The conception of the conceivable
I am absorbed into the “Interminable Mess”
Dejected of introspective identity
I am one two three
I am You Me
Everyone
In the wet dilation of
Carnal desire
Skin on skin
Creating impending existence
The galactic intervention within the universal commonality
Of simple beingness becomes
Convoluted with Byzantine straightforwardness
And Baroque anguish
I am Art
Unappreciated by neutrality
My ambiguous form pumping
With life
Sticky-sweet blood exacerbating my superiority
Telling me
“Everything you are
Everything you will be
Is me
You will become everything I possess within you
Vitality
Vivacity
Virtually nothing”
The irresponsibility of consciousness
Confusing my senses
Blind to cacophonous catastrophe
And deaf to visual stimulation
I wander from my enclosure
Alone
Unprotected from unpredictable Destiny
A leap into Fate
An icy breath confirming Existence
I cry
Life resumes and Death begins
A race between two moths
Flirting with the fires of the “Psychic City”
But perhaps I am something new
–Life’s proverbial anomaly—
Set within the confines of normalcy
Yet meant to reconstruct
Redefine
Retell
The immaculate predisposition of
Everything
Blots of color
Red Blue Yellow
Swirl together intrinsically
Time
Presents a gift to me
—life—
Wasted on a marsupial creation
Made from
X
Y
And Z
