Studenten van de Academie Minerva maken iedere maand een animatie bij het gedicht van de huisdichter van de RUG. Dit jaar is dat Sofia Manouki. De animatie is van Olivia D'Cruz, Marina Sulima en Veronica Gorii.

Superficial Safety / Tone-appropriate *~FUN~*

28 portraits spiralling down,
I'm the last portrait standing
Injected memories, force-fed
Waiting further instructions.

Have an ambition, represent,
Make sense in pressure-cooker
Am I too salty? Bittersweet?
Tasteless? Tasteful? A Toaster?

Alcohol!

Empathy's limited, homegrown
Why think if you don't have to?
I'll thus change tone & storyline
and hope this poem's half true:

/Tepee\ international finds a tribe
And tribes all bike together,
Under the quiet, grey canal's
Water display weather

Library studying – coughing choir
Deadlines don't kill, just tire
To make new friends of great height
I gazed at night life
(And yes, they are directness-rife,
And yes, Nietzsche was right)

And now you know my story
Let's mispronounce everything,
i tRIEd, YoU trIed, dOn'T WOrRy!
