The way this blog is going to work is that I will post a poem that I have written either new or old and then above it I will give my prose interpretation of it. My interpretation is not the "right" one, everybody "sees" things from their own perspective.

STATISTICS OF SHADOWS

I was inspired to write this poem after listening to some specialist telling this teacher hat to teach in order to get her student's higher standardized scores.


STATISTICS OF SHADOWS

Education by
complication leads
to failure that
masks itself

as achievement.
Graduation becomes
the cultivation
of inadequacy.

Manipulation of
documentation only
provides illusions of
standards met.
