Detention
By Sammy Greenspan
Why must you dress so differently from everyone else
There is no room here for those without credential
How dare you interlope without credential
What makes you so special
Who do you think you are
Why can’t you be less opaque
What do you mean you thought you were transparent
Why don’t you phone why don’t you send a Thank You
How do your words do what they do
Why do you insult us why require such effort
Can’t you just tell a story
What do you mean this is not a straight path
What do you mean you won’t specify preference
We liked you better when you passed
We liked it better with articles and commas
We prefer a happy ending
Why is all your work so dark
What do you mean darkness is no different from light
Can’t you please manage to be a little more symmetric
You need to have a couple things cut out
A thing or two inserted
