Once upon a time, contemporary
education seemed certain, illusorily
promising a future which seemed to assure
particular hopes of common interests, in
addition to our individual requirements
Workplace talk, the kind we overlooked
to get a job, to keep a job—those danger signs
we learned to absorb, to ascribe the root
to our own fault, to absolve under duress
Presaged today’s immoral politics
which play against humanity
That ‘modern-day’ teaching no longer exists
except on a side to pick, which further
isolates what people may be at
some time in their existence.
