FINESSE

25thSep. × ’14

Also known as
don’t be an a$%hole
today
when students don’t pay attention
don’t take their sneakers hostage
instead remind them science made possible
sneakers and plastic
paper and inventions
the world has become because
of minds like theirs unbound
by flashes of brilliance
of hope
moments of maybe
possibly this way out

If only they liked podcasts
If only they liked to read
It would be easier
quieter certainly

If only their every thought were born
by blinders on a prize they believe in
they’ve come to they adore
and every once in a while they broke out
of expectation
instead of this milling about
constantly lost

Get better be better
empty words come on
get it together

Today I would like for the adults
to not fall
apart

Today I would like to hit pause
and watch them float
like bubbles
or like pencils on a page
drifting peacefully
not panic erasing
tearing throwing
paper airplanes

Today I would like them to cat walk
aggression and calm
non-schizophrenically
each reaction poised thought through
slowed down

a catered to kitchen
a stylized menu
memorized
options enough

Today I would like to
not feel nuts
after work
at a fancy restaurant
