(a cascade poem)
The children are sweating
Asking nervous questions of clarification
Because they have never heard these words before
Under such bright lights
It is no wonder that
The children are sweating
Like a jaded bomb squad
Circling each treacherous noun and verb
Asking nervous questions of clarification
I wonder what monster created this sport
That makes good kids cry
Because they have never heard these words before
