Homer's (the blind man's) poetry as seen by the waiter

"Iliad IV"
 

baking in the sun

(waiting for George to find the classroom's key)

Where was Latin when he needed it and how wrong

For once at the revolving doors of wisdom

were his teachers predicting the future, fifty years ago,

historical chalkboards still being used,

now Computerese was invading his life, changing it

the cables for Internet and computer compatibility

if he wanted it or not,

are being buried in the ground

scientist splitting cells,

screen and box are on the way in, PC-NC and

many kind and creating more and more

Computerese soon stealing the show once being

of an amazing world just imagine

the pride and joy of any school

hot shot poetry teachers just like Lober,

just look at the quality of the individuals

and great computer science teachers just like Byrd,

being replaced by countless copies of studies by experts,

and all students like sheep

shown on big screen displays, backed up by information

cloned, nothing but clones, cloned, cloned sheep

from a master computer instead of relying

on answers nobody has, he is scratching the nose, he has

on the resources of the people within each class room?

...love thy neighbor...
