Study Hard


Innocence is our first teacher.
Curiosity is our second teacher.
Pain is our third teacher.
Wisdom is our diploma.

    3-D Glasses

    Reality isn’t enough!
    Put on your 3-D Glasses
    To watch Prince and Paris
    Jackson frolic in the rain
    Forest with dolphins.

    These aren’t X-Ray
    Glasses so you can’t see
    What isn’t already there
    Like security can at airports
    Or cancer specialists
    In the hospice wing.

    There aren’t Night Vision
    Goggles so you won’t see
    The bullets coming or
    Shape-shifting enemy
    Among bombed out
    Apartment complexes.

    All that’s missing is
    Smell-O-Vision
    To bring the waft of
    Rotting corpses
    Into living rooms
    Of Middle America.

    Put on your 3-D Glasses
    And take a good look
    At reality television,
    The NFL Crunch,
    And idols who refuse
    To die but dance, dance.
