made me think of Dr Nelson 
my first semester of college 
I was picking 
what the f*CK ever I wanted
& I picked
intro to ETHICS 
over time
I took more classes from him
than anyone except 
Sandy Frieden*
*German film
I haven't thought about him for a little while 
BUT 
I really loved him
I mean not in any sort of crush-y way
he was just an excellent person 
AND
I use that AH HA moment story 
a lot
it was an IMPORTANT moment 
BUT 
ALSO 
he was my faculty advisor 
HE WAS where I got
OR MAYBE NOT 
he would be philosophizing 
people would be scribbling frantically 
& he would pause 
REALIZE he had been LIKE 
making
UNCHALLENGED statements 
for quite a while
he would STOP 
and say
OR MAYBE NOT 
which was an 
INVITATION to challenge 
BUT 
I always heard people 
CROSSING OUT 
like WTF
I guess THIS is NOT on the final
& it amused me 
I was trying to find out 
SOMETHING about him now
BUT 
I found a thing from 2012
he was one of the retired professors 
granded emeritus status
there was a picture of him
I KNOW I wanted to go to a better school
BUT 
I feel like a got a lot 
out of the education I had
AND
he was definitely 
one of the stars
