Not Every Adversary


Not every adversary is an enemy.
Not every loss is a defeat.
Not every mystery is a puzzle.
Not every question is a challenge.
Not every conflict is a battle.
Not every fear is a disaster.
Not every difficulty is a problem.

The Jobless Rate of Education

Bureaucrats have bolted
A boot on my brain.
Wheels don’t spin;
They crumple under

Axle grease. The crunch
Collapses in triplicate
As one department
Merges back into

Another from which
Originally it had sprung.
Can layoffs be far
Behind? Numbers

More than quality
Determine everybody’s
Pocketbook, because
They can be computed

As if cold, hard facts
Pockmarked teenage faces,
Took the cash and left
Them in the unemployment

Lines, massively in debt
And doubt about what payoff
Or kissoff accompanied
That final diploma.
