Brutal Stark Bureaucrat

From the outside
quite organized
looking
inside a bowl
full of cold mush.

Tryst

On the board it looked knotted
Celtic like Romeo and Juliet I said
in the scrabble town amongst
champions of the game
points kept all important
there are winners and losers.

Baked Not Yet Fried

In the time that it takes to change over
to the underneath to the way there
it has become a different day
stepping through familiar
back then and now
there were steps
I took them
many and
then none
a path emerged
I remembered it
from before only now
it was smaller and overgrown.
I still like it there am satisfied. For now.

These Are Important

The first one is the data profile
plan historical information
for the academic plan the next tab
is the monitor tab.  It has data
on the students. The problem is that
it includes students who are here
and those who drop out. Suppose
he leaves the school the next day.
The data stays in the whole year.
Operations is different.  Only data
in the school now.  Only at this time
the time it goes in.  See the difference?
This is where you're going to get scores
math and language arts. I'll show you that
in a second.  Data quality this shows where
the arrows are. I think it means they typed
the wrong keys. You won't be using this tab
much. OK I'm going to get started. How we
are going to generate questions. What questions
can we ask? The search for data in the system
begins with a focused inquiry question.

Memorize the words you may need them I
tried to open the sesame sprouting when your back
when it turned it turned a moment ago round
and round in the best dregs of summer true
to the target I tried to grab it as it flew past
but you were not thinking I wanted to
catch it I tried too hard to slide in front
locating myself inside the meteor shower
the surprise the prize a cold lake in summer.

Common Sense

Not so common the sense that
filters down in between the still
fracas of dry blades where seeds
find the ground water if lucky
will sprout but not without
individual drops of rain water
chance in the blue light they crave
the weather is changeable or is it fated.

Either Or

They are twin ideas in one place
you are not in reality they said
again and I despaired but not today
I could have walked around aimless
in the desert not the airport
but there is the strange Northwest goal
its flicker forever happy light
because the poetry of it has settled in
always home on the road to find it
in the season of catch and release
I learned this waiting for the yellow light
to change and it did but I think of the green.
