No Blank Degree
Go to school,
and load your gun
The man is coming
the cradle shunned
Do your homework,
obey the rules
The exam’s been written
that dunce a fool
Go to school,
and stack the deck
Each grade a face card
full house respect
Dot your I’s,
and cross your T’s
Your promise written
—no blank degree
(Villanova Pennsylvania: July, 2018)
