Professors
Strip-mined our minds,
Deleting dance, songs & smiles.
Shoveling in
Math & chagrins,
Felonious facts by the mile.
E equals emcee-squared,
Energy, Earth &
Éclairs.
Bundle ’em up,
Pour in a cup,
Smash them while walking down stairs.
Honeyed sounds,
Teasing kids’ ears.
Ground-down with words & worm-gears.
Thread-chains of verse,
Shoved in a hearse,
Smashing the heart with old fears.
High-brows
Strip-mining minds,
Digging out jazz, risk & smirks.
Poking our rib,
Telling us fibs,
All in the name of their work.
Lettuce
Turnip our nose,
Giving bananas appeal.
Leaving our schools
To schnapps & old fools,
Driving us back to what’s real.
