Education Bureaucrats (7)
for Maxine
by Michael Ceraolo
It was a few weeks before school began,
and,
despite having had the summer off,
the dedicated paper shufflers
were already in mid-season form,
having sent her a schedule without a lunch session,
then
refusing to return repeated calls
attempting to correct their error,
probably
because they were inundated with indications of their inefficacy
Either that,
or
they had not forgotten to schedule themselves lunch
