Knowledge in a Sling

Floppy pants &

sloppy-looking shirt

wrong colour

he sits on the chair

as the Convention Master

begins-

he’s tired / hot & sticky

squirms about

drops his pen

followed by a pad-

came to hear about

families & children

(how to get along)

paid 50 bucks

for the univ. lecture

can’t sit still

a blow fly bugs him-

got to get out

of here & he does

(best thing he did today).
