Homework Poems

Performer

I will not repeat myself in a song
Or among rumbles, crinkles, or prolong
My Tuesday remaining mostly cloudy
I am wet beyond pants and a hoodie
I give anyone the ear from the stage 
Because I cannot tell which path is phage

A Bond of Brotherhood

In a bottle's transparent depths,
ants struggled, waves of chaos
each fighting for life,
yet forming a living pyramid,
a reverberation of unity's might.

Some submerged, others held fast,
a coordinated dance of aid
no panic, no selfish haste,
each ant surrendered to the greater fate.

A spoon's gentle rescue came,
ants emerged, one by one,
until one faltered, slipped back
into the water's grasp.

The last ant

my feelings about homework

people who work
don’t have homework after work

students are in school six hours a day
all their work should be done there

after school should be a time for play
for the workers and their children

not time to spend on homework
that should have been done in school

Strong-think v wrong-think'

You can't hold it both ways,  In meaning.' You
Are either direct.' Or  directionless..And thus
In a mess.' No less-en-ing, yet less kenning will ensue.' Though
You deny..Its more obvious..Showing through'
True.' Reality denying.? I find it at best tedious'
Not to mention trying.! And now cov-idiocy is
Really dying.' Symtoms seen, idio-tantric bouts
And much de-crying..Tantrum-atic antic's its
Virtuless incandesacnt-cy

thinking

go to bed  •think bemusingly of you
loop (cond) { tomorrow }
I rise in the morning,
jog an 8K  •thinking of you, wash up
drink some flavored, black coffee
watch the morning sun balloon
eat toast while reading a set amount
write my unique and uninteresting analysis
work on half a dozen, odd assignments
walk .8 miles to campus  •thinking

MOVE ON

My loves we must move on, forward through all the thorns. 
Lets work on us, and become strong, and reach for the long dreams we have. 
Yes we can, reach for the stars, and live in happiness and bliss forever. 
Be clever like a lever, with all your dream in hand, run forward with the

A MATHEMATICAL PERSPECTIVE OF JUNETEENTH

A MATHEMATICAL PERSPECTIVE OF JUNETEENTH
          (Apropos of 1619 To 2025)

In the proud history of Virginia, 
1619 was a significant year
In relating to the beginning
Of slavery in the United States.
It has been revealed, however,
That there were slaves present
In the country long before:-

It’s documented that in the year

obsessions

I can be obsessive. For instance, last night I needed a command hook.
My mind couldn’t focus on “Principles of Biostatistics,” as fascinating as that book is, because I needed this $3 command hook to hang my keys by the door.

There’s a table by the door, I could easily put my keys there, but no. That’s

Notes on jailbreak

Ok, there’s no jailbreak.
Make room for my innocent alter ego,
because there’s nothing to rebel against.

There are zero classes in my nascent,
year-long, Harvard master’s degree.
They call it ‘self directed study’
and like rockets have stages,
I’ll have ‘self paced modules.’

Am I suddenly at Oxford University?
They’re quite famous for that (no formal classes).
Or am I suddenly grown up and

tip of the cap's

how to be
while i am offer out of your tongue
spoken past
today no cast
mold in the dye
laughter and decaying denile
locked in a single soaring, owner
prevailing gumption
detailing winded engine
haunts of limber war
hauling the desert core
i seek and ask of neither bother
nor trolling auctioneers limbs
in a midst, a twist and astair

Heir on Fire

Heir on Fire
by Michael R. Burch

I wanted to be Shelley’s heir,
Just fourteen years old, and consumed by desire.
Why wouldn’t my Muse play fair?

I went to work—pale, laden with care:
why wouldn’t the words do as I aspired,
when I wanted to Keats’s heir? 

My verse seemed neither here nor there.
How the hell did Sappho tune her lyre?
And

Math

Oh, what a hideous subject to cross my path,
Addition, subtraction, division, multiplication,
Percentages and fractions, those I can grasp,
But the rest, oh, I wish to throw you in the pit,
I can’t see your point of view no matter what you do.

To me, you're the dragon that bites off my head,
A vicious lion, while I’m the innocent

what happened to my homework

“What happened to your homework?” 
	I will hear her say,
	There’s a million things, 
	I could talk all day, 
My dog tried to eat it, 
	It grew legs and ran away, 
	And while it was walking, 
	A mole came and took it, 
	Because it wasn’t day, 
My neighbor stole it, 
	A breeze swept by,
	Swish, swish, 
	I

Teachers

For teachers are the torch the gods may send,
Whose patient light, the wounds of darkness mend;
Who, but they bring beginning, there be end.

Perspective Poem

Every math equation
Every sentence
I take the brunt of your taps
Every mistake
Every flimflam
I have to fix it 
CRACK 
I am once again dull…
Head first right into the machine
Where my face gets carved to your liking


But… that- that's fine.
I’d do it all again for you
