Dear Bill and Melinda (Gates),
Please visit my classroom
at your earliest convenience.
Please be our guest speakers
maybe talk a little about gadgets
their use and misuse
about tests and testing
about teachers and their Q
quality.
You will need
pepper spray (just in case), lots of pens and pencils (the students don't bring their own), earplugs (but if you are used to hearing fuck off, fuck you, bitch, cunt, you could go sans, go insane) and I suppose some computers would be usefully distracting
and you might need to bring some spare change
for the students
besides the 75 mil for the state
you might be asked if they can 'borrow' some
this, the only amount they will see
because many do not use their free meal card/bus pass/I.D.
it has been lost
the cafeteria is not entered
at all for most
because they are talking to their friends
well, fighting or filming the fights
with cell phones &
oh yes, there might be a need
for thick skin, a steely gaze
to go with a firm yet caring smile
when the School Design Team, Principal,
On Site School Review Team, and District
come in to check
the current
centerpiece of the Macrohard universe.

Yeah, well y'know I once saw this documentary about Bill Gates. He was the ultimate rich kid, had the ultimate summer house, with the ultimate rich kid luxury amusement toys, every kid in Seattle hoped and waited and pined for an invitation and when they got there they went nuts with the cool stuff but it all involved games and contests, and the unspoken rule was always: Bill must always win every time. The crucial and ultimate test was the Swim Out to the Buoy. Bill was a terrible swimmer, but the unspoken rule was, he must always be allowed to win. And it always had to be made to look as though He'd Won Fair and Square.

What do you think this is anyway, Russia??
Sorry about that. Recalling further, with a bit of fine tuning, it was not a buoy. It was a raft.
