>Duchovny attended The Collegiate School For Boys in Manhattan (where he was a classmate of John F. Kennedy, Jr.[17]) from which he graduated as head boy and valedictorian in 1978. He then attended Princeton University where he graduated Phi Beta Kappa and summa cum laude in 1982 with an A.B. in English literature.[18][3] He was a member of Charter Club, one of the university's eating clubs. In 1982, his poetry received an honorable mention for a college prize from the Academy of American Poets. The title of his senior thesis was The Schizophrenic Critique of Pure Reason in Beckett's Early Novels.[19] He played junior varsity basketball at Princeton.[20] He earned a Master of Arts in English Literature from Yale University and subsequently began work on a Ph.D. that remains unfinished.[3] The title of his uncompleted doctoral thesis is Magic and Technology in Contemporary Fiction and Poetry.[21]

Cliche Juice
By David Duchovny
Home is where the heart is and my heart is
out traveling. Up into the wild blue yonder,
wingless, prayerful that this miracle of flight
will not end, just yet.
Also at home, with you, on the ground
wherever you might be at the moment, grounded
like a highschooler, like a wire, a bird and a wire,
feet on the ground and my heart in my throat now, now
in my feet, lawfully descending with gravity
to the lower, lowest, most sought after
most beautifully bound, home.
Aspirations involve reputations. We reach
for stars wondering what we are.
But my reason has been found
by finding you and looking down. And it is thre.
not in the stars of fantisized worlds, fifth
dinemsions, sixth senses, holy parallel potentates of
potentates-that my feet will trace
their slow as history itself dance:
a walking callligraphy so subtle that it will take 40 years
and more and a view from above
with an impersonal remove and lofty attachment I hope
to barely fall at that mythical two-backed beast:itenerant stasis;
like the one I enjoy up here in the well attended air,
to read the cursive strokes of my aggregate footsteps,
like some fairy take dissolve, "Once upon a time" or twice
written on our little page of earth, ground.
wherever our home may be
will be
wherever we happen
to be.

It sounds like someone who read a lot of Leonard Cohen but was too self-aware to pull off a similar style. It isn't terrible but it isn't very good--it's amateur and not in a way that's interesting. He made the right move getting into acting instead.

I keep rereading it with the monotone X-files narration voice he had and I'm increasingly fond of it.
Man I fucking love the script of that show.
> DEEP THROAT: "I was first struck by the absence of time, having depended on it so completely as a measure of myself and my life. Moving backwards into the perpetual night that consumes purpose and deed, all passion and will. I come to you, old friend, with the dull clarity of the dead not to beckon you but to feel the fire and intensity that still live in you... and the heavy weight of your burdens which I had once borne. There is truth here, old friend, if that's all you seek but there's no justice or judgment without which truth is a vast, dead hollow. Go back. Do not look into the abyss or let the abyss look into you. Awaken the sleep of reason and fight the monsters within and without."

I'm so fucking jealous. It used to be easy to get into a good college if you were smart enough. The life of being able to publish intellectual stuff, socialize, do sports, maintain relationships etc. Having the needs of the mind and of the body completely torn apart in the hyper conformist nigger culture we live in, and the harsh consequences of my bad luck on top of it makes me want to kill myself every day. And even going shopping for groceries, getting a haircut, just routine public space shit and seeing all the genetic garbage milling around makes me want to kill other people
