Standardized Education

by Amanda J Cobb

The weightless waves,
simple, diluted combinations
of empty averages and summaries,
assail my tired ears
and I find myself
banging my head
against the wall
for the simple purpose
of having something real
to react to.

Author's Note: Second version, added the first 5 lines. It had been suggested that a lead-in was needed. I agreed. Inspired during my Comparative Politics class. Not a good class.

I've banged my head to that before. Ya need the real just to help to define the abstract.
