you gave me assuredity
you're more than a building
you're a memory
you conjured a spell
each teacher worthy fitting
quality in those days
Later I learned I was deemed opinionated
Jackie Letts in a School Reunion
a quarter of a century said so
I question the reliability of memory
Obviously we have a different account
I was a near to do
only one GCE
swimming in a sea of CSE's
in the middling classes
but I wasn't amongst the dyslexics
maybe I had been cured
like a herring

They taught
and made claims they helped dyslexics
Mr Cavalry was one such
and Mr Depieu was rumoured to have taught in a French Colony
Time will discreetly raze their self sacrifice
Headteacher Tuffnell on BBC Panorama
Listen to the ear to gain insight
and to your Reproduction lessons
of eternal rabbits multiplying
Of November poppy's
representational gallantry,
and who loved the Stones over the Beatles
and of CSE's
your perfect social class strata
And Mr Tom Dodds your eternal
teddy boy arts teacher

“he astringed a vein in the loquacious tongue
- triggered plunger syringe needle and zaz...-
now see how this psychedelia is fleeting
and the silent world that in rainbows dissolves”
when and if you wanted to hide
the stings or dreams were like this
[this being one of other inapparent ways
to inoculate narcotics]
(people actually don't know
the paths of a map if they don't walk it)
people who are absent from themselves
lost by electronic platforms
inept and inania
ignore their core
because the organism stretches
as if all the members were
octopuses tentacular stems
but the world today is disenchantment
we are nanotragedy in microcosm
peddlers prostrate on ancestral rocks
mere distracted reptiles
disguised
dissolute
dysmorphic
dysphoric
dyslexics
distant.

SHOES ON HANDS WALKING UPSIDE DOWN
If you place your left shoe on your right hand;
And then place your right shoe on your left hand;
Then stand..
Walk on your hands..
What are you a clown
NO Direction
Naww!!! Just dyslexics

Dyslexia is our superpower;
And from know-it-alls we never cower.
They torture one's head with tortuous talks;
Dyslexics instead think outside the box.

Woe is us, we wretched Dyslexicons,
We visionary thinking paragons,
We the summer-school-room-dwelling patsies,
We the ostracized by Spelling Nazis.
