A New Semester

Student approaches a new semester's launching pad
       Cautiously maneuvers rockets into firing position
  
    -- Warning Signal Flashes -- Warning Signal Flashes --    
          Hazard Alert!    Hazard Alert!    Hazard Alert! 
     
                    MASSIVE COGNITIVE FAILURE!
                    MASSIVE COGNITIVE FAILURE!
                    MASSIVE COGNITIVE FAILURE!
 
           Cause: Systemic Breakdown of Academic Rigor

                               Abort Mission!

Deborah Guenther Beachboard Date: 3/24/2018 3:34:00 PM This poem is brilliant! It reminds me of every flashing warning in every sci fi movie I have ever seen, plus the poets voice is robotic-- the embodiment of cold computer voices that issue warnings to us mere mortals.

Thank you, Deborah, for providing a venue for growth for us P.S. poets. Kudos. Best wishes, Gershon :)
