Pupil the Parrot, the Imprudent Student

CEE

Everyone in the class
Was complaining about
How impossible the taught lesson was to
Understand
But, then, an epiphany was offered by
Blackboard-wiped-clean-of-green-chalk Eyes,
Who comes and goes,
“Uh! Don’t try to understand it,
Just Memorize It!”
And, this “Polly wan’ an ‘A’!” bullshit
Would be the ultimate learning skill
If “memorizing it”, actually
KEPT IT IN YOUR BRAIN
Because, yes, you would, you’d have a few
A handful
Screaming, melting down, holding skulls
Who Couldn’t NOT Think About
The square root of 48
Girls bleeding out in tubs, unable to live
Alongside teachings of Sigmund Freud
Boys encountering Ashley Montague, then
Two nights later, blowing their brains out,
But, it’s either That
Or the mouthbreathing version
Of every squalling brat the protection of
Staterun Family Service Agencies, created

Quality only, nonfriends...Never Quantity
